Based on a true story, this film tells the story of an event in a quiet suburban street. We don't really know what happened – and it is 'happened', because we join the film late in the night and jump backwards in time in steps, seeing a different aspect of the aftermath each time, until we eventually rest on the event itself. I won't say the event because it would detract quite a lot from the experience of watching the film, but it will be known to most people I think.

The film is a very slow and deliberate one; it plays out in mostly detached and static wide-shots, which take in the quiet nature of the street and the police activity. In doing this it makes the viewer pay attention to the scene, although being honest the lack of reward (mostly) does mean you have to decide to stick with it. There is a solid ending to the film though, which does pay-off, however mostly the short is about the manner of delivery rather than the story itself. In this way the film's structure and style is what sticks in the mind more than the 'event'. It did still work for me in this way, however it did mean that a repeat watch was not as engaging.
