Synopsis: An adolescent girl lives with her brother -- who is a religious fanatic -- in the English countryside. An upper-class girl spending her holidays in the vicinity befriends her.
Appraisal: The situations depicted here have a flavor of deja vu; it also has many dead, dull moments, even clocking in at less than one hour and a half. The drama being lived by the main character is not uninteresting in itself, of course, and the film manages to establish a certain amount of empathy for her. The sad thing is that the camerawork is shoddy, ridded in particular with an effect of changing the proximity of objects instantly, an annoying feature which was also present in El abrazo partido (2004).
