Plot

In 1988, a teenage girl's life is thrown into chaos when her mother disappears.

Sinekatalog’s take

When her mother vanishes, a teenage girl reacts with a strange mix of numbness and curiosity, and the film turns that detachment into a sly, stylised portrait of suburban unease. The mystery matters less than the mood. Fans of offbeat, dreamy coming-of-age tales will find it intriguing.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
