http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2112968/This is a uniquely stylized experimental film that simply omits a narrative structure and instead defers to an atmospheric mood piece that attempts to get under the surface of teenage adolescence where the viewer often feels like they are assembling a jigsaw puzzle, finding and fitting together the missing pieces. While there’s a potential to be much more, this may ultimately be too spare and emotionally oblique for most viewers, little more than a dizzying array of images, yet the empty spaces in between are especially intriguing. Beautifully shot by David Azcano in the director’s hometown of Salamanca, Spain, music by Pablo Crespo, much of the film is wordless and only randomly intersects, telling the story of four young teenagers, all non-professionals, including 13-year old Mauri (Jesús Nieto), a moody kid seemingly left alone, where his bizarre behavior is borderline disturbing, considering he has free access to a stash of weapons, seen from time to time toying with a large knife or a rifle, also chasing after a German Shepherd dog that may have swallowed something valuable.
