I feel it as a religious film more as horror. About a simple theme, present in each faith - the gift to protector, the blood as life and the gratitude in radical forms.
In same measure, it is a love film about the connections defining a couple.
Poetic - in same measure.
A short film, helped by inspired music, acting and atmosphere. The vase with stones an an event changing the balance in couple. A radical solution to solve the crisis.about order and gods . About a form of addiction and pain as support for a kind of happiness.
The thrill has as source the simple motif than all story is easy to understand, being precise, clear, touching in some measure. And, unfortunatelly, realistic.
Easy to see it as parable.
