Letter about truth

Beautiful, sad,spring day,delicate song, lesson about friendship and basic solutions. Film of emotions, remembers and way to discover the sense of small facts, may be mellow or boring but it is more that.Kostja Ulmann is an precise Luca. Fragile and in self definition. The images are parts of his expectation. The competition and the relation with Roderick, the fight against every shadow and the final concerto are words of a letter who describes forms of truth. "Die Zeit, die man Leben nennt" is not a great film. It is only invitation to understand the life as slow river. Show about heavy ambitions and escapes, abdications and fruits of love. Must see! I think so.
