CGiii Comment
The colorist did an excellent job.
The cinematographer did an excellent job.
But...it's so dour, indulgent and intense that interest soon evaporates...despite its obvious beauty.
As for moodiness...the moody will adore it.

The(ir) Blurb...
The story unfolds in a small village. Village schoolteacher Ola, single, is frustrated and unhappy despite her young age. Her life is slipping through her fingers - no raptures, no new plans, and increasingly forgotten dreams of great love, the kind that's described in books. She meets Janek - a patient at a nearby tuberculosis sanatorium. The feeling that engulfs them is wild and condemned to end in tragedy - Janek is terminally ill. Consequently, the lovers don't care what happens, nor what the world will think. Janek has a friend, though - Arek. A tense love triangle develops, where a woman and a man fight for the love of their beloved.
