Plot
After the death of her husband and teenage son, a woman puts an ad in a newspaper for a surrogate child.
Sinekatalog’s take
A grieving woman advertises for a surrogate child after losing her husband and teenage son, a premise that mixes sorrow with something unsettling. It looks like a quiet, emotional study of loneliness and the longing for family.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
