I too became trapped on that vacation and wanted to go home.

Wow this film completely blew me away. I thought everything about it was utterly exceptional and this feels like a film that is a true piece of cinema. Part coming of age film, part family drama and part war film. This feels like a companion piece to Aftersun.

I hope this gets more attention.
