« »A minimalist yet multilayered work that led us to reflect on both geopolitical and ecological questions. In its simplicity, it lingered with us and echoed long after the screening. The piece captured our attention down to the smallest details, its paradoxical power lying in the way strong messages were conveyed calmly and with restraint. Though outwardly static, the film was full of inner movement. Sound, image, light, and delicate movement complemented each other seamlessly. Themes of migration and ecological suffering emerged – the sound resonating like a cry, reminding us of the possibility of extinction. » » jury of the Bucharest International Dance Film Festival
