What an amazing film, beautifully paced, heart wrenching, sad, inspiring, so emotive. A great afternoon movie, bring tissues, I cried a lot. All in all it's about friendship, family & forgiveness and we can all relate to these. It's also an insight into another culture, there are real people like you or I living their lives in the countries we see on the news every day.
