Synopsis

A girl is kidnapped and the perpetrator roams freely. When a similar case occurs along the same road and in similar circumstances a suspect is identified leading to the accused running away and going into hiding. Another year on and another man falls into suspicion. It is too much to bear and a burden to carry, but with suspicion all around and no culprits apprehended the situation is somewhat understandable.

Critics' reviews

"A meandering, cryptic drama about fear, demonization of the other, insular protectionism and acceptance, the movie has bitten off a bit more than it can reasonably chew — but it's not for lack of trying."

Elizabeth Kerr: The Hollywood Reporter
