...is the basic virtue of this admirable short film. Bitter, cold, delicate. Two boys, exploring. The shock of one. The meeting defining the other. A film about childhood and death. Simple, fascinating, great for each detail and for the impressive location. A film who seems escape from yourself, because the fascination of old houses, the friendship , the eccentric adventures are well known. Short, a gem. Lovely for message. And for the gracefull made.

Powerful Short Film
wiseguy-181 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The first time I watched it, I was struck by the ironic ending, with Viktor being the one who was killed instead of Steiner, which we were visually led to believe.
But then on subsequent viewings, the tragedy itself hit me, and on each watching I found myself being affected more and more by it, crying even in the seconds before we see the blood running down the wall. . .
I didn't pick up on the significance of the scene at the 7:25 mark until my second viewing. This is where Steiner is at his window and Viktor is throwing pebbles, trying to get him to come out.
Pretty powerful little film, if you contemplate it.
