A total drama takes place in present day rural Romania, where a woman searching for vengeance gets into an spiral of pain affecting everyone involved. Trying to heal her hurts all she gets is worsening them and hurting others...
This is the kind of independent film that my subconscious links to FIC Xixón, so it felt a bit strange to watch it from my sofa. It has many of the good ingredients that I associate to independent films: long shots with an aesthetic aim that give you some extra time to analyze what's happennig and what could happen next, blurred images, blurred images of cars driving at night... different elements with an almost hypnotic effect (though the most hypnotic element in the film is the savage beauty of the main female character).
For an urban rat like me one of the most moving points of the film is how beautifully it depicts life in the remote countryside of remote eastern Europe...
Only a few elements (superflous to the story) make you realize that this is happening in present time and not 2 centuries ago.
A total must-see film for anyone interested in beautifully sad stories.
