Una decides to find and confront her much older ex-neighbor with whom she had a relationship when she was 13 years old.
An unusual drama about an unusual situation. The makers decide to use a taboo subject that they then manage to exploit without issuing any clear opinions or passing judgments related to any sort of guilt or condemnation of any of the described facts, managing to capture the viewer's full attention through authentic and gripping drama and contrasting and pity-filled feelings that both protagonists generate. Showcasing great and intense performances, the film's subject remains taboo but the outrage provoked by it becomes ever so slightly attenuated by being combined with an unforgiving pity.
