    I had loved this movie so much the first time I saw it. I saw it on the site and decided to watch a couple of minutes to see if it still held up. I ended up watching all of it again. Wow, what an amazing, delicate film.

    The story can be explained in 2 lines and the supporting roles are very limited (maybe except the mother). It’s more a contemplative film focusing on a couple walking in the countryside and discussing about love. I was a bit surprised at the beginning, but rapidly I was struck by the beauty of the film.
