very purifying film, 13 April 2005
9/10
Author: sinikka-1 from Finland

I did weep through the hole movie from the very first picture to the end of credits, but that was not bad feeling there was no angst in my cry it was just purifying. Director Kari Paljakka did find the deepest meaning of mourning and forgiving to yourself. I did cry silently out very many of my own sorrows and lost of friends and family. Hannu-Pekka Björkman did succeed on his difficult role of father and young Johannes Paljakka was amazing in his role of young brother. I think that this is very important film about very difficult aspects of being human: sorrow, false guiltiness, recovering and forgiving. I really recommend this film to everybody, sometimes it's healthy to find out that you still have feelings and empathy.
