Quiet, beauriful movie

Life isn't always white or black, it's -and for the most part- just gray .. this movie tells the story of some gray days of the life of a housewife when her husband insist on having a third kid which she dosent want. I really enjoied this movie, it was a beatuiful surprise as CostaRica's neighbours really have set the bar very low (as i watched it as a part of my quest to watch a movie from every country in the world), it maybe lacked some pace in the 2nd act, but all in all it was a really beautiful movie. 7/10
