A woman in a small rown is raised to be midwife, but wants to be a singer in the big city.
With apologies to the filmmakers this is going to be short and sweet. I wasn't going to review this film right now. I am buried with festival coverage of three festivals. There wasn't a slot for this film on my dance card. However I didn't sleep last night so a lot opened up and I decided to give the film a shot.
I had been told by a couple of friends who had seen this film earlier and they were right. This is a lovely little film you should see.
While it may not always seem like real life, there is a kind of formalness to some of this, it feels comfortable and like we are being told a great tale by a master storyteller.
I was moved. And when the end came I had to wipe away a tear.
This is a small gem and recommended.
