    Ash air, light crumb
    Casey Afleck as axis. Story of a family. Sense of life as illusion. Twoo brothers, some words, a car accident. Drogs and a delicate love story. A child team and a game. A factory and strange relative. Few hope drops. Slice of small common America, it is lesson about values, expectation and ways. About things and their essence, causes and social terminals. Everything as world of old story. A film about nothing, as many others. But, in same time, a definition of limits and real aspect of travel to yourself. Casey Afleck is great in a genre of gray character who makes action heavy. A film for recognize the crumbs of light in the dark of soul.
