Sweet hearted at it's core ..the relationships of how people care and become important to each other unfolds at the right pace in this story. It is acted so well that although not an exciting picture it seems to flow quickly through the story. There is an interesting sub plot as to what kind of love is going on between the mother...who is absolutely beautiful The other tenant...Twiggy....who is very sexy and who is a young boys...well actually old boys to...dream girl. And of course Shirley Mac.... who mentors and is so very attached to him ....that I was trying to figure out what was up with the way they viewed this young man. Really lovely music to...
