This film captures a foreign environment with beautiful camera work. The lives of the young people are portrayed through a series of very disjointed vignettes which require the viewer to reassemble pieces of each character from the montage rather than being able to follow a linear progression in their lives. To me, it was so much work that the story fell a bit flat, took too much time to tell, and left me flat at the end.

A nice film about a teenage love from a different perspective. Indeed it was somewhat rambling, and I lost the story several times. All in all an enjoyable film, but not outstanding.
