QUOTES
“The film has a powerful undercurrent about the way the experiences of our ancestors live on
in our descendants, and the need to remember the past.” BUZZFEED.CO.UK
“Director Justin Olstein plunges us into a sensory and provocative world. We experience terror and anguish,
just as the characters do, leading to revelations about how past traumas can scar future generations.”
