    A brutal and beautiful film
    I just returned from a screening and Q&A on this film and am frankly speechless. The film is incredible, beautiful and brutal all at the same time. What's more even more unbelievable is that there are only 4 professional actors in this film! Can you guess which ones? You won't be able to - the performances are that honest.

    The violence is graphic and your mouth will fall open in shock but the suspense is so well done that you will not be able to look away.

    I'd also have to say that memory plays a very important role in this film, in fact it is pretty much a character in the film. Just as developed, complex as the actors.

    Look out for Fanta Regina Nacro. She is a genius.
