I saw the movie at the Vancouver International Film Festival and was disappointed. The plot or story about a raped woman looking for vengeance has had much potential. It is shown in one very good scene when she tells her story on a boat with one of her former tormentors and his new wife without revealing who she really is. But overall, the scenes were attached to each other without a flow, sometimes with music coming from a horror movie which didn't suit the reflections she had while travelling with her son through the beautiful mountains. It is an opportunity wasted. Though, I am generally interested to see what is coming from those former communist East European countries. They might have many stories to tell based on the things which have been swept under the carpet.
