This begins as a look an a woman named Rita who ended up confined in a mental hospital for years because no one could understand what she was saying (she speaks a rare dialect). The film then changes along the way as things are not what they seem.
This is more a ride then a desitination.
Think of it as a film as a journey where we are told a story and slowly come to see the life and the circumstances that people live under. We see notions of racism and how our not knowing things, say an Indgenious dialect, cause problems for people. Rita wasn't really crazy she just couldn't commincate and lashed out.
There is a lot to take in here. It is a bracing film that forces us to reconsider how we view each other and the things around us. It's an incredible film that I can't believe hasn't been on anyone's radar. This literally just missed beingon my best of 2025 list but the pacing of the film -which mirrors Rita's life- was a bit too slow for the mood I was in in when I watched the film.
