Emotional, well assembled and captivating drama
10 May 2013 | by (USA) – See all my reviews

Not really much to say without spoiling it...this drama will leave very strong imprint on your hart and soul. It portrays human struggle and search for the meaning of everything. Suffering and pain from separation - both, long and short term, from people we love and need.

I watched this movie three times over 72 hours, and every time I saw it, I felt like I was watching it for the first time. Story line is well crafted and acting is just superb by all. I could not help but think of a "butterfly effect" in relation to actions of all characters and, even some seemingly small and irrelevant move, will resonate across continents and impact characters' lives. Also, along with a pizza or popcorn, get a box of Kleenex...trust me you will need it.
