🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Marie-Castille Mention-Schaar constructs a parallel narrative of two fates, working with a restrained, quasi-documentary visual style. She explores not the spectacle of terrorism, but the quiet, gradual process of radicalization, relying on real cases of teenage recruitment in Europe.

What lingers after the credits roll is a profound unease and a necessary confrontation with the vulnerability of the adolescent mind. The film offers no easy answers, only a sobering reflection on manipulation and the possibility of return. — MovieFinder Editorial

In a quiet, focused setting to absorb the psychological weight of the story.
