This is the description of a beautiful drama
This movie was emotional, sad and beautiful throughout. I wasn't sure how I'll feel about it and now I cannot wait to read the book which I've ordered right after.
I wouldn't recommend many movies these days, but this is one of those to watch. You'll remember it forever.
The time, the set, the living is nostalgic beauty. Grounds you to the core and shakes you up. There will always be sadness, there will always be hurt and pain, loneliness will always hunt us and there will always be someone we are waiting for to come home.
But there will always be kindness and love too, nature, animals, happiness, art and hope. This movie is was art.
