User Reviews

A warm movie

A drama from Taiwan. It is about a woman and her daughters who must perform the funeral rites of their ex-husband and father, unleashing the pain and kept secrets. Quality. Hard. Reflexive. Daily. Interpretative. Parsimonious in the extreme. At times you feel that nothing happens in more than two hours of movies, you must stay until the end. Talk about letting go of things from the past that hurt us, about forgiveness and love. About those things that we hope for and live each day being happy despite life's situations. Of family relationships and their disruptions. A detail that, as they all look alike, some stories become confusing and that some moments you must interpret. A film that shows that a woman's heart is a sea of love and secrets.
