A shocking opening scene is explained as the movie advances. The way the family works is the most interesting for me. In a time of conservative reaction of a "traditional family" idea, based in order and discipline, this film fives a great contribution to put the light over this problem. A horrible fact is discovered in the middle of the film and paradoxically, although it is truly heavy, I think that it reduced the impact of that disturbing clockwork home.
