Hodnocení a recenze

For me this movie really hit on people trying to find their place in world. Old, not so old and young. The three main characters faced some hard things about their lives. The sorrow of isolation and overcoming it also shines though in this movie. Things to think about in how we treat others and in how we handle difficulties.

A true testimony to the kindness of the human spirit and how gentleness can mean so much to others without our ever knowing it.

An antidote to our American cultural greed.
