No one is perfect... It shows people as they are,and this film is not propaganda incest. on the contrary, it shows how bad it is and hard, and what consequences this may entail... not without purpose the whole atmosphere of the film is riddled with dark gray paint, greyness, gloominess and some despair as i said in the summary its a weirdest movie and the bloodiest concept, a boy comes to his town to live with his step sister but things got weird when we get to know that he loved her from her child hood time she tried to explain him but he behaves in childhood way , they showed it in the film in a realistic way even though its Polish movie every one can relate it to some extend

Half sister or half brother it is. Still I can only imagine how wrong this feels to say the least for many. And I totally get that. Not that the movie is completely only focused on that. But the relationship is front and center when it comes to the siblings.

Other characters, possible lovers, are thrown in for good measure. And especially the brother has quite the other option ... I would say the better one, considering not just the relationship to his sister, but also the mental state of the characters ... but you can't choose love can you? Not even when she is in an abusive relationship.

By the way the dialog (subtitles) "we were looking over some papers, maybe I leaned in too much ..." is almost comedy gold ... in a different movie. Still have to admit that got to me. Worst excuse ever btw.

Very good acting and interesting story. The side story with the gypsy and nationalsocialists was quite interesting, too.
