 What a beautifully haunting story. I loved the imagery of the time flowers, as well as the juxtaposition of the beautiful villa with the bleakness of the couple's situation. I also loved how atmospheric this story was too. Every plot point felt like it had time to breathe while we witnessed the slow, impending doom of the characters, and it was almost unsettling to see how calm they were. If I could give this six stars, I would.
