The 9-minute film opens in suspense as the crime boss waits for a delivery by the sultry couple. Introduced for the first time, the boss overlooks the supremacy of the woman – disregarding her competence in favour of her male accomplice. Vengeful turmoil erupts when the boss betrays their trust – which leads to an explosive unveiling of female empowerment.
Bódi Tibor Zoltán has created a gritty tale of treachery that makes for action-packed viewing. Szirák Tamás’s adept cinematography secures the film’s success – accompanied by fitting post-production, sound and special effects. Acting delivery is well orchestrated with a stand-out portrayal by Ács Bernadett Bettina – a steely performance that warrants high acclaim. The entire short could easily be misinterpreted as an introductory scene to a feature length production – which pays homage to the astonishing craftsmanship. Highly recommended.
