on teenagers in their dreams, which leads<br />

grief, and forced silence that encourages<br />

women to speak up. It is a challenging<br />

watch due to its gloomy mood, but it contains<br />

a deep message about self-justice<br />

and muteness. It is based on L.H. Anderson’s<br />

well-known namesake novel.<br />

their complex life just as the protagonist<br />

of the story does.<br />

setting, but the story involves adolescents<br />

struggling with the realities of their lives.<br />

Indeed, this movie is heartbreaking yet<br />

also entertaining. entertaining.<br />
