"Even though you may well be able to predict the direction Boegi’s narrative will take at its conclusion, the trio of twists - Ida’s story, Willem’s revelation and the final reveal - it delivers is one of the most awkwardly satisfying viewing experiences you’re likely to ever witness in short film. Compelling, heart-breaking and deeply funny, that look on Willem’s face is the perfect ending to a gripping short film" - S/W Curator, Rob Munday

These characters were great, and the sound design was spectacular, this had me on edge the whole time, up until the final frame. The toxic relationship is something I can identify with. Can't believe this has only 7 other comments!

That look on Willem's face at the end, as it dawns on him that what MIGHT be the truth is distorted by his uncontrollable jealousy.

Truly appreciate the stark overtones and undertones of the film, the writing. the acting, the direction, the filming... - kudos to all involved but especially to creator Máté Boegi.
