nahatsu Dec 02 2021 6:13 am I thought this film was simply wonderful! Very emotional, so I had to use my tissues a few times! But a brilliant story, with a great moral and I loved that the ending was filled with a spark of hope. I recommend this film 100%! Lovely actors, and clever swap between reality and fantasy.

Edwin Septian Aug 17 2021 11:38 am Very Similar with "the family man" movie from year 2000.
