Strange movie with a very hard to describe aura, like something out of the distant past, but still very familiar because it is set in our very ordinary, simple world. Its a dreamlike story (like Cocteau) of a young woman who is not really sure who she is or where she came from. Lead actress (Stephanie Sobocon) is beautiful, perfect as someone who might not be fully human, but still struggles with her identity, emotions and sexual awakenings. Her father is also effective with a very vague and slightly sinister qualities. Cinematography is excellent, the sort of hazy and expressive camera-work you really don't see anymore in this age of digital video. Editing is hypnotic and moves the story along in a way that is really subtle and smart. Definitely one of the more interesting films that I saw at the festival in Rotterdam, and to my surprise, it comes from Canada, a country I don't connect with this sort of cinema. Hope to see more from this director.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.

The fantasy genre features imaginative and often magical worlds, characters, and events. It explores realms beyond the boundaries of reality, featuring elements such as magic, mythical creatures, supernatural powers, and fantastical settings. These stories can take place in entirely fictional worlds or blend fantastical elements with real-world settings.
