The look is interesting from the child's point of view (we hear the conversations of adults only from a distance). This distancing is also from the viewer, we identify with the child as foreign observers, but at the same time it takes away a certain emotional effectiveness from the film. A story in which there are few, if not any, surprises, shot with solvency, with close-ups that express the confusion and that sense of isolation that the protagonist has.
