In questo contrasto ricercato fra il tono sottile e il contenuto drammatico delle sue narrazioni, Martina Vidaić gioca il confine fra reale e irreale, tra ciò che appare verosimile per il tono e per la semplicità del racconto, e ciò che per immagini e tragedia si svela essere come assurdo e surreale, quasi impossibile.
