    What a beautiful film! The photography and soundscape is just like it should be. The movie reminded me of "Into great silence" and is for sure inspired by it. Sabine Timoteo, main protagonist of the film, is always a delight to look at but her dialogue! This is the one point I don't give to the film because it made me wince a few times. Anyhow: Strongly recommended.

    I couldn't finish the movie, way too slow. It was half-way through the movie, and there was pretty much zero story development until then. I'm fine with slow movies, they just have to tell something in between, either with images, emotions, music, ... I think this movie tried to do that, but, IMHO didn't achieve it.

    What I liked: the zen-like Japanese voice over messages.
