not really a documentary, but a eye candy, 10 August 2006
9/10
Author: sanderbraa from Norway

not really a documentary,but a eye candy

the short film is about life. dreams,death,interests to depression are things we meet in interviews a little boy do with different people. the little boy makes the interviews really special. the interview objects reflects more and gives good advice to the next generation. between the interviews a old man give thoughts about life to beautiful filming. the results are a great movie with great thoughts that all sums up in peace.

i would recommend this to the people looking for a hard movie, with thinking. if you like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Donnie Darko you would probably like this. if your looking for a easy popcorn flick, don't see this. your not going to like it.

a wonderful movie that captures you.
