Description
A universal tale, kept in a realistic style, tells the story of a few hours in the life of a rural community. A horrible accident will interweave the destinies of a woman and her two little children with that of a politician, who runs them over, and of a policeman, who arrives at the scene. The horrific events are closely observed by the locals, armed with smartphones and with their curiosity, which will soon turn into righteous anger. . Whilst part of the story hinges on coincidence, nothing here is especially unlikely, and it's the very ordinariness of events that ultimately gives the film its power - this, together with a sense of immediacy that will have you on the edge of your seat throughout. There are no pauses for breath. There's no way back.
