8/10
Far from home, close to a circle of nothingness
18 July 2022
In a remote town lies a boarding school for the underprivileged children between the high hills of the mighty mountains. During the record-shattering winter, all of a sudden a kid is getting really sick and the hidden secrets are unravelling one by one.

Cold face of bureaucracy reminds itself in almost every chance of resolution. Coldness, loneliness and awkwardness of the coming of age, having noone to care for you, cold faces, cold waters to shower with, cold doors hits you right in the face...

Obsessed principals and teachers doing everything but their core job, to care for the children... It reminded me good old ''Ondskan'' and ''Les Choristes'' if you know what I mean. The taste is different in this one though.

If you wanna get lost in a snow storm-torn town and try to find a way out of a big crisis, here's you pick, don't miss it!
