This piece is candid, moving and though-provoking. It is more than just 'sad' it makes the viewer examine so many aspects of what love really means in real life. It is simple and complex, stunning and frightening, beautiful and starkly realistic. The images tell the story as much as the dialog, light, situation, framing and pace all contribute to bringing the viewer inside the world of the story Please watch this movie - it will show you a great deal about your own heart, about the society we inhabit in the West and our attitudes to any one excluded by illness. language or tradition. It well as tell you a wonderful and moving story which you will never forget.
