This is a lovely debut effort from new filmmakers Iana Simeonov and Michael Winokur. Images and sounds are orchestrated to make real for the viewer the experiences in the mind of a young girl in a migrant labor camp who sees beyond her shabby surroundings and envisions the beauty that swirls around us in the everyday experiences we all encounter. The sound work brings us inside her experience and allows us a somewhat less peculiar or literal Being John Malkovich moment.
Nice camera work and excellent location selection result in the setting of a scene that feels authentic and appropriate.
The story never quite informs you as to where it's going and works to leave the viewer wondering, but wraps up nicely and left me looking forward to future projects from these filmmakers.
