...that for some inexplicable reason is not known, did not receive much publicity, and seems to be misunderstood, given its rating on IMDb. fate, loneliness, connection, beauty, love, pain, death, and wonder and awe of the workings of the universe and the human heart imbue this little masterpiece (the book is marvelous, as well) with a dignity and compassion all its own. finding hope and meaning - in self and in the world - beyond a world of difference, pain, rejection, and cruelty is its leifmotif. if you can find this beauty (appears never to have been released on DVD in the u.s., sadly), watch it, watch it again, listen with your heart, be astounded at its quiet and haunting beauty.
