Respectable lovely old man

I don't know if the person who wrote the synopsis actually saw the movie. Are you saying the pace is a bit slow? I don't know if you find that most of the people who appear in this film are old people, and the protagonist is already a 73-year-old old man who needs two crutches and is full of diseases. The film was shot at his rhythm. Has a delicate and unassuming texture.

What impresses me the most is the sincerity, grace and upbringing shown by the old man when he accepts and gives help. He did not ask for help from others in an old, weak, sick, and disabled manner, nor did he refuse help from others because he was old or not rich enough. In the film he presses a little money under the phone after the phone call. This small gesture is enough to earn respect.

While driving all the way, greeting passers-by from time to time, getting out of the car to pick up a hat, and turning your back when roasting venison are all very vivid and cute.

The word "love" runs through. All the people he met, all the pertinent words, all the memories, the coexistence with his daughter, the most important thing is that he went over the mountains to visit his brother who had a stroke who had hurt him.

The scenery is beautiful, and the music is simple but just right. like.
