- Excerpt: Rasmussen condensa a realidade na animação, mesmo quando nos oferece pequenos excertos documentais, por vezes com uma proximidade extrema. Foi esta a forma simples de lidar com este trauma do passado, embora disposta a assumir todas as suas vertentes, que acaba por se revelar tão satisfatória.
