    What a delightful package of entertainment!
    We previewed this film at the Cinema Society of San Diego, and what a delightful evening it was. The movie was tender, funny, adorable and elicited laughter and embraces from the audience. Each role was played out with understated, well-cast characters who delivered believable performances, making the entire movie feel like home.

    Our guest speaker, Allegra Cohen, who played the part of Willa, and produced the movie, brought it all to life with her own energy and enthusiasm to the members' questions and comments.

    Though the story is age-old (boy meets girl, unrequited love unfolds, and the end turns out okay), it's the characters, setting and acting that make it so tender and touching.

    You'll want to catch this flick on your film festival circuit, and hopefully, when it's out in theaters and on Netflix!

    Enjoy, it's a little bouquet of pleasantly-scented flowers that we can all appreciate!
