CGiii Comment

Chosen for #FiveFilms4Freedom 2017...

There may have been a technical glitch in the playback...but, the sound was absolutely awful, all the dialogue had a slight echo...!

As for the spontaneous kiss...who actually does that?!?

As for the acting...a few drama lessons wouldn't go amiss!
