The death of a beloved husband and father is followed by the visit of his brother, an experience that changes everything.
The film is solely focused between three characters: the widow, he orphan and the deceased's estranged brother. Despite its inwardness, it is not dull; the dialogue is sharp and the change of scenes as well as the plot development is done skilfully.
As we follow the interactions between the leading characters, certain truths begin to unravel which are supposed to make sense of it all, but the problem is they do not.
The mixture of mystery with a rather strong supernatural element is not helpful; it can be a challenge to tell the difference between what is going on and what our characters imagine is going on. To this if we add certain sudden appearances, this film is even more demanding to understand.
Therefore, whilst it has plenty going to wow the audience the presence of several question marks in key parts of the plot deprive this film of points.
An interesting, engaging experience that leaves many why's unanswered.
