    An Emotional Journey

    I really enjoyed the film. The arduous journey home was a depiction of the struggles of the characters and also the resilience of the human spirit.

    The difficulties are compounded by the emotional journey back to roots or to a place they call home, which symbolizes safety and belonging but is often far and fraught with challenges.

    The long journey home becomes a metaphor for the quest to find stability and meaning in a harsh, uncaring environment. The film effectively showcases the resilience required to overcome these obstacles, and the enduring human spirit that pushes them to reconnect with their origins and reclaim a sense of self amidst adversity.

    It looks at how friendships can fade away as people get caught up in the busy, stressful city life. I was filled with emotions as it is indeed relatable to me.
