    Very interesting and moving story

    I saw the dubbed English version on Netflix, I would rather see the original language version. But still the story is beautiful as is the sets and the colours.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they do a reboot of this movie in the US.

    A good hearty warming movie

    I didn't know what to expect from this movie which popped up on YouTube as I was searching for something to watch. I was amazed at the good script, quality acting and how touching the movie is. It does remind me of The Elephant Man and make me wonder why we treat someone differently or judge them or shun them because they look different. Such prejudice apparently also resides in children who most probably learn from the adults. We also see how inhumane the medical profession can be especially in the earlier era. It's also an inspirational movie as we see the main character grows to become self-sufficient and pursue her goals. Highly recommend this movie for all.

    No matter the condition with which you were born

    I do not consider myself an expert to criticize a work like a movie, where so many people work, but if I am able to see or understand the message that is wanted to give the work and in this story, the message is simple, "No matter the condition with which you were born, it is not an excuse to dream and achieve something great "I know it is not easy, society is the factor that most debilitates a person, and we all know, but if someone manages to overcome those immense mountains, there will be nobody who can collapse it.

    Wonderfully written and filmed

    A well done movie that allows you to understand the development of a character and it shows a different take on how society views you if you're different. The viewer goes through the emotions of the characters and you can understand and empathise to each one of them.
