Review

Slow paced, minimal dialogue, at first intriguing as we discover his fixed daily life, but ultimately we learn nothing - why is he living this happy life, what ws his past that brought him to these sunlit uplands. Only the vaguest hints are provided - he has a wealthy sister, he is estranged from his elderly father, his niece remembers him from a time before - but what was the watershed? We'll never know. Possibly he has forgotten.
