      beautiful, mellow and enchanting
      Maybe you are not ready to see such a film. I'm not saying people can not understand what it is about, but it is obvious that sometimes people just do not expect to see such beauty in the screen. That's the story of a young beautiful girl who live alone in a small city where the lighthouse is the biggest and most important thing they have. The direction makes this apparently simple and naive story a nice and interesting programme to be seen. The young girl and the wind (yes, the wind) have a special friendship, and this goes on during the whole picture. That's the backbone of the story. The facts happen slowly and this pace gives the movie a mellow atmosphere.
