"A very touching movie portraying the  interconnectedness and sacrality of nature, life and humanity. It transmits a deep sense of peace, even when the main characters face loss and pain. The roles of the lights and the music are outstanding in this movie, and really add a deeper dimension to the whole narrative. A sense of mystery pervades the whole movie and the audience is left to find their own answers. Technology also plays a role: nearly seems like an attempt to embrace technology into the natural cycle of life (instead of demonising it!). Technology in fact becomes a means to explore the characters’ journey through loss, and wonderfully fits into the ever-present natural scenario. A film to be watched more than once, to fully grasp the deeper meaning and to explore more than once the deep sense of peace it conveys."

"Gently mystical, with scenes like impressionist paintings come to life, it handles its themes with a light touch, shifting the spectator between perspectives external and internal to the action."

"Watching Abrahadabra made me realize how conditioned we are by film generally and about "what happens next". It has been good to experience the subject a different way."

___

"A film with symbols, difficult to apprehend, which unfolds around the themes of the loss of the father and the absence of the mother, the suffering denied, the search in the illusion to exceed this break with the world of childhood, which will lead Jane, the main character, through an initiatory journey in which nature plays a character in its own right.
