This movie is DEAD!

Strange, boring, trying to be artistic but never succeeds - just BAD.

I can't believe I watched this horrible movie. It was so boring from the beginning till the end. The actors sounded like they were reading lines or trying desperately to act or both.

OK, "17-year-old girl, puts leeches on her body, letting them suck her blood to ease the pain of her life" - she just put those leeches on herself a couple of times and said to her friend that it helps her to deal with her pain. There was no pain to see because none of the actors could convey emotions. But I have to add that the main actress (Naya) was OK and the most bearable.

The 17-year-old Naya (that looks like she's 23 by the way) is doing only what her mother tells her do to - "yes mother...yes mother..." through all of the movie. The mother is very controlling and she wants her daughter to become a model while the daughter wants to go to college.

Naya is getting involved with the gardener (who's not as handsome as promised by the IMDb summary). They are having some empty conversations about life and a bit of philosophy. Suddenly the mother decides that she doesn't approve with the affair and threatens the gardener that if he won't have sex with her she'll go to police because he had sex with a minor. Also, the gardener did some time at prison and now he's on probation.

The end includes some resolutions from the side of Naya and a very cruel and out of the blue act by the mother.

b.t.w. "The White Horse Is Dead" - can't understand what is that about?! No horses in this movie just leeches, a naked cat (Sphynx - a rare breed) and a cute donkey.
