This is a quality film with a solid story and good performances. It obviously has a European style - not the usual Hollywood thing.
"Letters" is probably more suited for a mature audience, not because of sex or rude language but for the family issues involved.
Three of us saw the video (we are 45 - 50ish, 2 women 1 man) and found it refreshingly different, with good insights into a different culture, love, surprises, and trust.
