Warm Canadian Forest Into does not mean a place, but a direction: not in the forest, but in the forest. Not life in nature, but immersion in nature - not an event, but a psychological slice of existence after a global catastrophe "without electricity" opens with his female look Canadian director. Is it permissible with such an amendment to forgive the filmmakers too warm weather in temperate latitudes for almost a year or a complete lack of interest in where electricity evaporated?
There are many things women can forgive, especially if they reveal secrets about themselves. The main content of this film is the peculiarities of female psychology in the behavior of two sisters living after the disaster in a lonely but comfortable house in the middle of the forest, away from cities and highways. While random men dream of Boston promised, where rumors say there is light, food, and work, tied to the visible and tangible female look chooses for the benefit of staying at their home - the older Eva and the younger Nell remain to live with their canned food and a cozy fireplace.
Eve is a dancer, and Nell has no real passion. Therefore, the focus in the film should shift more to Eve. Without your favorite music, you have to dance to the unbearable sound of a metronome - the girl almost goes crazy from the burning desire to use a meager supply of gasoline to start the generator, but her sister remains adamant. Interestingly, in the course of the film, in the struggle between reason and impulse, the girls change places several times.
Without civilization, nature takes its course - canned food spoils, men become animals - and it is impossible to live by dancing. But brazenly breaking through the crevices and windows, nature still does not kill the modern woman, but makes her reassess herself and her main purpose. 140 years of electricity house of cards are formed not under the wind and rain, but under a much more powerful desire of a woman to be a woman - albeit without a man nearby (it is debatable, of course, but the film was shot by a woman, maybe she knows better), albeit without aspirin and chocolate, but with the power that is able to overcome the hardships of life in the forest - in the warm Canadian forest.
