Our take

In this poetic and affecting rumination on the causes of suicide, Argentinian director Leandro Listorti (The Endless Film) tackles the complex premise of how to shoot what is no more. Sparse, minimalist cinematography, and the voices of those left behind fill in some of the missing pieces.
