Reviews
" A light-hearted, light film, the lives of the opposition of his protagonists and their ambivalent tension that holds the audience in suspense. A staged as a hiding game for money, love and false identity lovable finger exercise which cites many clichés of the genre, but at the same time can be understood as a self- ironic response. "
