VIBE
This film is a raw, unvarnished plunge into a world of moral compromise and personal sacrifice. It feels like a slow-burn fuse, constantly threatening to ignite, as an individual's idealism clashes with a system's entrenched rot. The atmosphere is thick with suspicion and the weight of a principled stand against overwhelming odds.
