An Impossibly Small Object
A Dutch photographer (played by David Verbeek himself – also a talented photographer in real life) takes a picture of a girl in a parking lot in nighttime Taipei as she plays with her kite. The photo transports us into her life. She is eight years old and is about to lose her best friend, a boy from a wealthy family who is moving to America. Back in the Netherlands, the photographer is confronted with his own constant loneliness. The photo of the girl evokes memories of his own childhood, when he still felt at home somewhere.

A Major Disappointment
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
The first must-see film of the year.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
