What a power failure reveals.
Before going to the film I had read quite a lot about what it was going to be about. Trailer, photos, reviews... So I had some expectations. The film fulfilled them entirely.
First, I liked that the gaudiness, present in quite a few mainstream productions, is missing. Just a plain story with plain events that sometimes reminded me of my young years. - Like the mother telling the boys to mind the gas oven. Or the notion of spending the whole afternoon playing computer games. Or, after all, the adolescent friendship/love among good friends: being a macho outwards and hide tender feelings and confusion inside.
Normal events take on a more metaphorical meanings - the true nature being uncovered only in hints. Like in everyday life.
I think the message of the piece could be that one should stop pretending, killing the time uselessly and start being authentic. But maybe I'm just pathetic :)
