A slice of magical realism life film exploring themes already explored in an compelling and subdued way. The setting and characters are very original and while it did feel a bit too Instagram-y at some points overall I enjoyed watching it very much. I don't want to give any details about the plot or the characters as one of my favorite aspects is how it slowly unfurls itself, revealing details about the setting and the characters without ever delivering any exposition. I wonder how different it would be on a rewatch? There isn't really a mystery there but just the everyday basics are obscured from the viewer, which creates this wonderful dream like feeling while watching. So, yeah, great film.
Uncomfortably esoteric
