I was not going to write, but I was shocked by the negative review on this movie, so I had to react.
Finding the strength to endure and stand true to your loved ones, especially not abandoning one's children, while finding support in the most unexpected places...this is the message of this movie. You can see the clash of instincts and principles, the slow to develop but then strong bond between the characters, the forbidden passion boiling inside, and then the strong attraction to another reality part of which is also symbolized in the small item they exchange, which is the token of a bond as strong as family.
BEAUTIFUL movie, A+ to the director and cast, such a masterpiece drama in 4 acts.
If you are married non-fundamentalist with a few kids and have retained a few working brain cells and doubts, watch this movie, it will really get you thinking, and it will not end on the night you watch it either. In other words, if you have a beating heart and do not suffer from Asperger's or was raised in a closet, this movie is for you.
