Review
This is the first work in the
The vast snowy field forms a closed space that naturally blocks the intervention of the outside world, especially public power like the police.
Geographical isolation provides an environmental basis for covering up cases and creates a limitation where one must face threats only with internal figures.
There is some disappointment in the work due to the somewhat clichéd theme of corporate greed, system absurdity, and individual conscience against it, as well as repetitive blackmail patterns.
The absence of poetic justice rather seems to realistically show how those with huge capital and power in the real world cleverly escape the law and evade responsibility.
