Accurate, empathic and bittersweet picture of rural life
Reallistic depiction of rural life that shows both the heartwarming and the harsh living conditions of farmers. Weren't it actually scripted, it would have totally worked as a documentary piece.
The movie can get long at times. It seems to lose focus and detour from the main plot at times, bringing smaller scenes, that help you empathise with the family, but contribute few or nothing to the actual development of the story.
The movie brings some food for thought as you see a way of life that is threatened by modern technology, and the push from the rural life to urban life.
The work of the non professional actors is excellent, and shows how much effort was put in making this film work and strive for excellence.
While the movie is a few steps away from being a masterpiece, it is still a mandatory watch.
