[JFF '23] In a rural area that is suffering from depopulation, the film shows the landscape of fields with a beauty driven by the use of warm colors in panoramic views. It is a calm drama about adolescence that also addresses the economic difficulties of adults, in a town that seems destined to disappear. It talks about important topics such as bullying and abandonment, but sometimes it feels like some ideas are presented without being fully developed. However, it provides a look of hope towards a possible future through solidarity between students and also between adults.
