Atmospheric sound creates the prelude to this tale of a young woman haunted by the demons of her actions as a child forcing her sister to commit suicide. The impact of this film is partially in that soundscape but also within the wounding inflicted on the young woman. Particularly vicious, but without considerable gore or impact otherwise, is the wounding that happens as the young woman makes her way down stairs. A short film that, in a good sense, last longer due to the calm way in which it tells its story, and one that is memorable.
