Spoiler's rating of the film Hemel
Spoiler

HEMEL, que significa “paraíso” em holandês, não é bem um paraíso: É uma historia estranha de uma estranha garota, que diante da musica difusa, do vislumbre da imprudência, desce ladeira abaixo, ao inferno, em busca da mãe, para longe do pai. Tudo descrito com sutileza, entre momentos felizes e prazerosos, mas que refletem certa estranheza. Pela dor. Pelo amor.
