>*"Did you love me before I existed?"* Family drama mixed with some romance and a small touch of fantasy. This is a rare occasion where going in blind didn't do any good. Not knowing what genre it would settle on or where the story was going ruined it a little. The movie ended and I was like: "ah, turns out this was a romance story". I was waiting for the fantasy elements to resurface but they never did. It felt extremely unfocused and unpredictable, not in a good way. Judging it for what it is though, this was a decent romance story with layered characters and an interesting coming of age story that explores the past and the present. The mother daughter storyline was my favorite, the two actors did awesome. The whole cast did great, liked the needle drops, beautifully shot and totally weird and original. I can't say i'm satisfied with the end result though. A minute of silence for the octopus.

A complex narrative about relationships, exploring connections, frustrations, regrets, paths and choices. The film weaves a plot where past and present intertwine, resulting in a present moment with a melancholy and beautiful atmosphere, reinforced by impactful performances. Everything is balanced between a visceral realism and a child's vision, where reality is mixed with subtle touches of fantasy, and all these elements are well developed in an engaging and reflective form.
