Horrid and painful moment. Nice touch of realism there with what I’m assuming would be the radioactive/acid rain from fallout. Still feels very scattered and distant though.
I think the distance that THX mentions is due to the fact that you switch between the moment between mother and daughter, and laying down the facts quite literally, which might detract a little from the human element of the story, but I still really enjoyed it.
Oh, and isn’t the saying ‘water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink’? I might be wrong… MH
