Sara (Alyssa Lozovskaya) pays a visit to a run-down mechanical workshop
for an interview with Ron (Vinnie Jones), a scarred and mysterious man who
likes to talk in riddles - something she seems to have come prepared for,
so at first their conversation is a bit strained by both playing their
hands close to their chests. However, once they open up to one another, at
first ever so slightly, their conversation starts to go places - and
suddenly it becomes clear that there's more to things than just a plain
interview, that the workshop is more than just a workshop, Ron more than
just a guy who likes to shroud himself in mystery, and Sara more than just
an ambitious and innocent young woman looking for answers. Sara and Ron's
fondness for one another grows over the course of their conversation - but
they really have to rely on one another, as what they say and do might
decide over life and death ... A very unusual film as it only
gradually lets one in on what it's about, and by doing so takes the
audience through many a fantasy world, changing its visual style ever so
often (without ever giving up the overall homogenity of the film), and
often using associations as narrative means, which makes quite fascinating
storytelling. And the movie's rich visuals throughout make it a feast for
the eyes while both Vinnie Jones and Alyssa Lozovskaya manage to keep
things grounded enough to keep things relatable - and a rather enjoyable
watch.
