Hopefully you’re some form of an existentialist. Preferably a pessimistic, yet mildly amused existentialist. If not, you should still give this film a shot, because it boils down to a way of seeing life: good, bad, or ugly, it is still lived. And in our living of this one [...]

The film is a poignant story about a [...]
