VIBE
This film feels like a slow, deliberate burn under a vast, indifferent sky. It's a study in simmering tension and unspoken desires, wrapped in a starkly beautiful yet unforgiving landscape. The atmosphere is thick with psychological weight, exploring the quiet cruelty and hidden vulnerabilities that fester beneath a rugged exterior.
