Yep.
Crowdfunded, which means a limited budget, but also a lot of freedom for the director. And you can see that. Reminiscent of the Japanese cinema of about 20 years ago, when people could still go wild, while the West released everything with a Japanese flavor on DVD.
Enjoy visually. Beautiful use of color, tight camera work, memorable images. But it's the soundtrack that has the biggest impact. Drones are not that exceptional, but the way they work with the images is so tight that it gives the film a solid injection of atmosphere.
And that injection is also necessary because the plot is rather confusing and mysterious. In the end everything can be glued together, but you have to put in a bit of effort, and also be able to handle the fact that not everything is clear during the first look. But who cares, please more of these kinds of films.
4.5* and a extensive review
