Synopsis
A multi-prizewinning film whose rich, complex plot reveals strands interwoven with poetic precision. The characters - family, neighbours, business associates, friends - are depicted (like their country) as positive, anxious, prosperous, insecure, and treated with deep humanism and touching humour. Do see it: it's a life-enhancing experience.
"Only rarely is a film this tender and observant about the ups and downs of daily existence" Roger Ebert
