The film works wonderfully in its brevity, as well as the intimacy it portrays on screen. It closely controls its resources of the physical space, bringing us tight, intimate shots of the sole two characters, in a manner that remains effortless and seamless throughout.
At the heart of the narrative is an integral question, one that perhaps came a little too early in the relationship. Now the answer hangs in the balance in a way that would determine the fate of the two lovers before us. It is loaded with expectation, hope, and uncertainty.
