MINI REVIEW
This Belgian two-hander about students held hostage during 2004s Beslan school siege in Russia is initially intriguing but soon loses much of its power. The young actors have a believable rapport as they scramble around the stage constructing a web-like effect with twine and using black balloons to indicate the position of the terrorists bombs. But the detached presentation of information becomes repetitive, and the scripts ending feels needlessly abrupt.
