A very simple lyrical little story, no story line (not really a story movie), it just tells a "healing experience" . The state of life of couples who have lost a child eight months later, the pervasive sense of grief and powerlessness about how they struggled to build a new life is real. It does not describe the tragedy directly, but the protagonist will suddenly cry when he sees a certain scene, and then he will live as if nothing happened, it is very real. I feel like the writer and director have related experience.
"It never passes, it just starts at some point and gets lighter and lighter until one day you can take it, it's like carrying a brick in your pocket and going on with it."
