Adoration is the story of a lonely boy who falls head over heels in love with a girl from a psychiatric hospital, without knowing or even imagining how close he is to the ensuing tragic events. This twisted romantic drama about escaping from reality to the bosom of nature, about a youthful adventure doomed to failure from the beginning, and the dangers in impetuously blindly following something, flows at a very slow poetic pace that seems never-ending. At times it can be profoundly philosophical, however, I was waiting for a more climactic ending that never came. [Sitges 2019]
