Inspired by reality, the film unfolds the thread of a history of culture and, at the same time, a different kind of xenophobia, not national, but social. Without exasperation, without blame, with a structure that travels through time with repulsions of a repulsed memory, Polyxene's story begins with a “salvation” and escalates with a punishment, passing through betrayal, passion, paranoia, all in search of the simplest feeling, that of love and acceptance that a completely innocent girl asks for. Keeping herself and her film editing, Masklavanu achieves a wonderful balance of moments, time, lengthening her sound a little more in each subsequent scene, creating a grid where the before and after become identical: in each tomorrow you will pay the price for yesterday. Claudio Bolívar's photography is perhaps his best work yet, soured past and dreamy, until it becomes nightmarish, as the heroine of the film closes herself, more and more, in the fortress of her home and her derailed thought.
