CGiii Comment

A film that will make you [feel] better...

It's called growing up...when the care-free become concerned.

Textured, soothing, calm and tender. The end of the idyll has never been so tranquil.

Mr Thiedeman displays a unique sense of touch - he lingers, never loiters, his frugality with words is compensated and complimented by the generosity of his immense imagery.

Breathtaking in its simplicity, complexity, intimacy and majesty.

Visual poetry.

Thank you. We cried.
