What this film gave me was not a visual shock, but a spiritual shock. It seemed like I saw the real society. We have been flooded by all kinds of media for a long time. Do you really understand the society you live in? Can you understand the feelings of people living in slums? Is it bad to use...

The weakness of images over language makes this work diametrically opposed to Baigazin's aesthetics and even the art of cinema. A large number of hand-held and subjective monologues are not standard for realism. If they are replaced by words, it is probably a good non-fiction literature.
