    Refreshing Thriller. Love at first time
    There are films that sometimes only take 1 or 2 minutes for us to realize that we are in the presence of a different film. And when we dedicate a few years of our life to an activity that is at the base of the complexity of the main character, all the surroundings become more accessible for us. And "Rowing", for those who followed the entire learning process, is as good for "Dall" as "Dall" for "Rowing". A film as beautiful as it is intense.
