A brief yet wholesome window into the lives of two individuals as they struggle to deal with the threat around them. Not only does the title illustrate a portion of the movie’s subject matter, but it also masterfully describes the film as a whole – after initially opening with sinister undertones.
With no dialogue, creative cinematography and brilliant use of lighting, here is proof that an audience doesn’t need to be spoon-fed and can just enjoy what’s in front of them.
