What can one say, if not to praise the originality of the script and the way the narration seamlessly pairs with the music? The captivating shots, perfectly timed, draw you into the intimate essence of each scene. Love, mystery, and the unyielding karma of time shape characters like Mary, Jack, Evelyn, and Gwendolyn, all set in a haunting environment that grips you, sometimes tormenting you, until you're left breathless, clinging to a faint hope of life and justice. One that time seems to have forgotten.
Michelle shines in telling the story on Scott Nixon's novel, making you feel like an integral part of the narrative, urging you to rebel, intervene, and play your part in ending Mary's suffering.

Michelle also leaves her unique signature, creating a dimension and a sense of time that transcends our fleeting lives, placing them into something grander... Life, in all its mystic complexity.... Love.
