Atmospheric photography, perfect script, interpretation of actors.

Greece's official entry to 2022's Oscars is decent and well made. It's real, simple and intense. Screenplay is very good, it tackles interesting topics as well. Cinematography is great and so are the performances.

With a form of modern western, the director builds a confrontation with the progress as a destructive element, which is also defined in the relationship of the bohemian father and the son, full of reproaches. With an exceptional cinematography that shows the greatness of the landscape as well as the intimacy of the people, the film works in contrast, in the harshness of the forest and its inhabitants.

Amazing job! Great dialogues in a retro futuristic Hellenic western drama. The storyboard is very realistic with an unsolved situation between a father and son in the Hellenic Forest. Grigorakis got so much potential in his directing skills. Mourikis is proving that he is still the best Hellenic cinema actor throughout the ages. The other actors like Pantzaras and Iatropoulos doing great too. Worth seing it.7 out of 10.

It is a moving and multidimensional film with deep social and political messages. It focuses not only on the broken father-son relationship and how it is evolving, but also raises critical political issues, such us the change in the local economy due to the arrival of a large company and the impact it has, not only on the lives of local producers struggling to handle, but also in the relations between the inhabitants.

The issues raised of this film are so realistic that it's really worth seeing and thinking about. It is one of the best Greek movies I have ever seen.
