    Warm, gentle, funny & moving

    Beautifully acted, nice story that looks sympathetically at people and asks a few questions that it lets you answer, if you wish. It is also beautifully shot with nicely framed views of the sea and ordinary lives. Draws you in to its pace and little world. Much as I like "Knight and Day" (and I do), watch this rather than a second viewing of that.
