    great
    A short film like easy breeze, a cinnamon tea cup or rehabilitation of gentle kindness. A postman, a florist, a venerable blind teacher - poet, a night in club and troubled discover , an album and answer to the gifts. You feel it as an old fashion animation. In fact, it is it. Old feelings, in proper manner to show. Admirable acting , sweet story, delicate spring air and seeds of special state of soul after its end. A great film, absolutely because it has the gift to remind , only, not demonstrate. The news about the rest of James Michael Tyler, the wise job of Paul Dooley, the colors and. Andrew Creer as the good Eric sending his special postcards , the flower shop and the books of Mr. Rostalle are the splendid ingredients, in few scenes with virtue of spices . Short, just great. So, I admitt, I adore it ! As wise rehabilitation of basic innocent and fundamental things defining a good life, as fair portrait of innocence as the best way to be yourself and give real sense to life .
