Quote:
"[Anne Trister] goes beyond the conventional girl-meets-girl scenario in a number of ways. Pool attempts to symbolize the relation between the two women through a particular use of space, mise-en-scène and metaphor, at the same time exploring the connections between this romance and the original love for mother."
