User Reviews

A real good film that make you feel good in the end

Most of the movies, after you watch, you feel tired and dizzy and you feel that you lost energy... But with some movies, after it ends, you feel new, inspired in a positive way and got energy. This is one of this movies. It has a good intention, good message. It is not about guessing what is going to happen or not, it is about the journey of two women on the way of finding freedom and inner peace and love to each other
