An intertwining story of murder and mystery across two decades. In the early twentieth century, several pregnant girls meet in a country house, where they have been sent to give birth and have their children adopted. The girls are never seen by outsiders again. Almost twenty years later, two historians return to the house to research the case, and when the disturbing truth is revealed, the dark story continues. Written by cesare
An original script with surprisingly good acting performances, stunning black and white cinematography, creepy sound design and a string quartet musical score. The film makers made good use of their self financed budget, reminding me of the low budget noir films of early Hollywood. I watched this movie with a friend who didn't like the film as much as me, but being a classic film fan I really enjoyed it and highly recommend to any fans of art house cinema. The DVD also has loads of special features including a documentary about how they made the movie without any funding, which is useful if you're interested in making movies "on a shoestring".
