The film opens with a scene of a forest at the edge of a small river that flows along a road. A white bird flies by. Could this be a metaphor for the car that is fast approaching or the soul about to depart? An almost inaudible muffed sound of the car hitting something, a crumpled figure crawling and a splashing sound of something falling into the water followed by a scene of a gray car arriving at its destination… then the driver comes out of his car and walks into a house as if nothing is amiss. Not an easy film to watch, the atmosphere remains tense as the rest of the story unfolds. Troubles are brewing everywhere, festering beneath the surface, seemingly to suggest that the sense of security and safety most of us take for granted in our youth is an illusion and that nobody is immune to harm.
