But there is something weird about the big brother asking a favor, the other speechless brother and Ruth looking uneasy and upset as well. Though the movie does not suggest it directly, it is likely that Ruth has been sexually molested by her second brother and the incident hasn¡¯t vanished from her memory. She ends up living with the assailant in the same house. The movie does not stop in just giving shape to her trauma and terror. The virtue of this movie lies in making Ruth look into her subtle feelings that she faces while sharing everyday life with the perpetrator, particularly her inner side which is not freed from the fetters of the past, not a grudge against him.
