There is almost quiet torment found in every soul present in this film.
Its long takes and dry feeling when everything is silent draws something extremely painful with it.Its stance on moral revenge, justice, loss and pain is heartbreaking.
All these people are connected via a web off grief and torment that they'll never get rid off.
They don't get to forget, they have to be tormented by the memories.
Like the film itself says, they are already dead, they are dead but still living.
