Rarely has a modern movie gripped my heart and my full attention, perhaps it is because I could almost insert myself into the position of the female protagonist.
Whilst this movie lacked in display quality, it is cram-full of emotion (well acted and brilliantly directed), boasts a simple but profound story line and uncomplicated, unadorned story-telling. This movie reminds me of high quality TV movies from the 90s.
The father, an emotionally absent retired professor and translator now comfortable with living alone (since the death of his wife) is suddenly visited by his daughter holding onto a heavy suitcase. As time goes on, it becomes obvious that there is an underlying, heart-breaking reason behind her seemingly spur-of-the-moment visit. After finding out the reason from his son-in-law, her father tries his best to discreetly meet her wishes while struggling to camouflage his feelings.
This was primarily a father-daughter story. One with a moral lesson underlying the storyline- to have no regrets when it comes to ensuring that our family members know that they are beloved. What a treasure in today's movie industry- a movie that actually teaches you something important.
