An intelligent and precise portrayal of the psychology surrounding low self-esteem and how to deal with a breakup from denial. It's especially subtle when it addresses the small decisions that can lead to the development of a relationship, the repetition of what has happened and what could have happened. It's this everydayness of the simplest actions that reinforces the best qualities of each scene in the film, which influence personal relationships, whether with a partner, a daughter, or a mother. Helga Guren looking at herself in the mirror deserves any acting award.
