The torrential rain is approaching, and a unique and should be the only movie was shot with the theme of "time does not stop, the circle is not round" and the logic is not logical but it is really a circular narrative method. The three stories are linked to each other but contain the past and the future of the other two stories. It is not a narration, a flashback, or an interlude. It is an alternative narration method with time confusion and logic confusion, just like the various races described in the film after the disintegration of Yugoslavia. , the contradictions and wars between religions and villages, and even the family members who were taking photos with their faces in a kind and harmonious atmosphere one second, the next second they went to a neighboring village for non-directional, misunderstood, and blind revenge to arrest an innocent child. , and killed himself in the next second, in order to prevent the endless loop of revenge, he did not hesitate to return to his hometown from the UK and did not hesitate to sacrifice his life to stop the war... This kind of time disorder, logic disorder, life and death disorder, and timing disorder in the movie are exactly the The insinuation even directly strikes at the irreconcilable and eternally wrong reincarnation of race, humanity, faith, conflict, peacekeeping UN, guns and cameras.

    All I can say is that it's so great that I've been sighing after watching it. Understand why the director must use a circle-like structure because his love and sorrow for the motherland are endless, there is no beginning and no end, unlike a straight line that always has a beginning and an end. The photographer must be the director who wants to insinuate himself - a wanderer who sees the world with his eyes and is finally willing to dedicate his life to his motherland. I was really excited after watching it. . . .

    Facts have long proved that Mirko Manchevsky is not a good director. What we see here is only the original texture of the image, and some deliberately stiff designs.
