Sinekatalog’s take

A man walks away from his lover for a stranger, and place and time start to come apart. Stylised and dreamlike, it plays with how memory rewrites love. Demanding but intriguing for fans of puzzle-like European romance.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
