An every day story presented beautifully

Although an ordinary story, a story which in normal circumstances won't even have been worth being told but the way it has been presented has made its worth. It tells how some times people who have almost the similar problems can some times come close to each other and understand each other. Its a story of two individuals who come to know each other simply by chance while attending their respective court cases. Walter who is a wrestler and physically strong but emotionally sensitive displays a good control over his emotions and upholds the principles of decency.

Good movie to watch.
