"This film is an extract of a relationship between a mother and a daughter according to the program notes. I found it to be much more as the camera work was exquisite and the set of repeating doors which the daughter goes through works as a metaphor for the mother as a girl wanting to grow up and get on with life. In a sense the relationship could be construed to be between a young girl and woman she is to become upon adulthood with all of her loss and compromise intact. It was a powerful vignette of female sense and power. The camera work was close-up and beautiful, sensitive, and quiet. " - Brian Fretté / REVIEW: DANCE CAMERA WEST/INTERNATIONAL DANCE FILM FESTIVAL
