This was a wonderful film about a nun and a laundry owner who find an abandoned baby. They team up to care for it and it changes their lives. The whole film seemed to be a comparison between different types of relationships between a parent and child. Mother’s have a difficult time sending their children away, whether it is to a convent, a different couple, or someonen random. This felt like a real life story about real people with real feelings, emotions, and actions. With most movies, you can tell they are a piece of somebodies imagination. With this film, it is probably happening out there millions of times and nobody bats an eye, yet millions of lives are changed. The film was a little slow, there is a lot of walking/driving/thinking where there is no dialogue and only repetative action. The music is beautiful and gives you plenty of time to contemplate (or fall asleep). I enjoy taking naps in most films, but I stayed awake through this whole movie. I would highly recommend it. It is up there with My Father’s Glory, which puts it in the top 5 or 10.
