VIBE

This is a deeply melancholic and introspective slow-burn, immersing you in the somber atmosphere of a family's quiet unraveling. It feels like a compassionate, yet ambiguous, exploration of mental health and the subtle shifts within an immigrant family, viewed through a child's observant gaze. An atmospheric, independent drama.
