    A beautiful film about love, jealousy and philosophy
    The main charachter, Captain Störk is an unique figure. He is such a loveable charachter. Between him and Lizzy has a really strong chemistry!

    The movie is like a time machine, all those sets and locations are beautiful!

    My favorite part was the small talks between Störk and other charachters, like the doctor. It really gives a philosophical layer of the story!

    Overall: the best film of 2021 for me.
