wise movie

Beautifully filmed and wonderfully written. So much wisdom! So inspiring it moved me to tears. Each of the characters were believably human with all their imperfections and selfishness while having underlying good hearts. This film conveys the reality of good will humans have for each other. The writing was rich, yet natural for the characters. I was informed that the entire movie was filmed using 1 (one) $4,ooo Sony camera, filmed in 16 days! So inspiring to see what can be done with a small budget... convinces me that movie making should be viewed in it's art form. I'm a musician who greatly enjoys seeing something done artistically. Really glad that this film came to the festival in Montreal. I hope to see it again! Amazing, dedicated talent.
