Director Vladimir Durán's first feature has the beautiful oddity reminiscent of the Greek Weird Wave films (think Dogtooth), and its curiosity holds throughout the film.
A family of three sisters and a little brother lives in a house with their mother locked in a different room 24/7. We see them go through seemingly ordinary routines, and then this voice would just be heard through a wall. The details and the Whys and Hows are gradually revealed throughout the film.
The film is concise and doesn't overstay its welcome. For my taste, I think the dark humour could have been more pronounced, if it was intentional at all. I'm excited to see more from Durán, who definitely has a rare vision as a director.
