    Not a comedy.

    An honest, moving movie, with some of the loveliest music and singing.

    Simply a great view!

    I came across this film by accident while searching for something new to view on Netflix. It was such a simple story about the dynamics of a family, centered around a middle-aged woman, that it pulled me in from the start. I felt like I could have been watching a documentary. The acting was spot on and the one shot camera sequences were captivating. Simply a great view!

    I love foreign movies

    Mark Twain had said "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness". Movies like this one helps to learn about different cultures and that in turn helps to understand that there is not much difference in how people live around the world. If you have prejudices to any country, its people, watch movie like this one.

    Emotional story

    Fantastic depiction of Georgian culture of extended families with elegant twists, wonderful acting and songs

    Universal Theme but Different Locale

    The theme of wanting to find oneself, to be at peace, to be still and hear only the sound of rustling leaves and a neighbor's piano practice... a woman finding her own self causes instability within the family; Beautiful and simple tale of the craziness of longing for personal space in a society that resists the idea that women can exist independently.
