Criticism
" Drama about voyeurism and claustrophobia, designed as an exciting game between the inner and outer world, in which the action is to be found together skillfully interlaced story lines. What could be a metaphor for dealing with the past, fed from grief, dread, panic and exhaustion abysmal, but increasingly disappears into horror elements with a lot of theatrical thunder. "
