Elegant and delicate tale of 2 girls escaping from their summer camp to get their own vacation. Too slow, uneventful and unemotional unfortunately.
The overflowing sense of freedom, curiosity, thirst for life we expect from the (probably first) experience of young evasion after an existence protected and aseptic is nowhere to be seen. Even the clumsiness, the boldness of youth aren't there. Maybe just a form of innocence so naive and clean that it's hard to find realistic.
Maybe it's just me being detached from youngsters. Or maybe it's me not having any idea of how some lives are lived.
But I don't feel much from watching such a static display of happenings that don't stir any significant action or emotion in the characters - if not the most obvious ones.
Maybe it was the authors' goal to depict everything almost as not alive anymore, far in a past that weakly disappears, timidly scared that something might break. But I'm here for emotions and entertainment, not to decipher the "brilliancy" in the mind of the writers.
And as far as emotions go, there isn't much to talk about - except for 2-3 short scenes. 1 point more just because it doesn't pretend to be more than what it is and focuses on a very hard topic without any particular misstep.
