This movie is simple, it captures what life is really about. Without the many special effects that is used in movies now and even in the past it is a absolutely wonderful movie.
A young romance blossoming between two kids who have known nobody else but themselves. They discover everything in life without all the interference of the rest of the world.
The low rating on this movie is unjust, it deserves a lot more then it is given, this is possibly one of the best movies I have ever seen.
It is absolutely wonderful for a romantic night just you and the television. And the nudity? it was exciting when I was younger, it becomes a bit too much as I am getting older, but it does not bother me. It fits the movie, the pure soul of the movie.
