The film constructs its emotional landscape on the stark contrast between the raw, almost tactile grief of the father and the ethereal, unsettling nature of the ritual itself. It relies on prolonged silence and the weight of shared, unspoken sorrow between the two men to build its power.

What lingers after the final frame is not the exoticism of the custom, but the universal ache of loss and the fragile, human attempts to mend the unmendable. It’s a quiet testament to the stories we tell ourselves to survive. — MovieFinder Editorial
