For a meticulously observed and perfectly crafted look at economic despair in the rural and developing landscape of Myanmar, the temptation of easy money and the consequence of ruinous choices... for the assured tone and quiet melancholy of this re-telling of the fall from Eden.
Under extremely confined circumstances, the director manages to overcome the austerity of the environment with a limited budget and a minimized crew, uncompromisingly portraying a truthful depiction of Myanmar and people's ways of survival in its society.
Imbued with unique aesthetics, the film is a maturely crafted gem, which fluidly alternates between fiction and documentation, showing the flexibility and persistence of independent filmmaking.
