This is a wondrous little film, if a bit confusing. The summary is simple: a woman re-appears a year after her death without memory of her husband and child, who are the first to find her sitting alone near a railroad track. The movie unfolds to reveal the entire story, and is well worth watching.
To be enjoyed here are the actors, who do very good jobs of portraying their parts. Cliche? Hardly. The story is unique, the characters well-portrayed. The "penguin" scene is quite humorous. A perfect film? No. But it's a cut above typical love stories. Does it fall short in spots and leave the user scratching one's head at times? Yes. But it also brings laughter, appreciation, one significantly unexpected "wince" moment, and a few tears.
It is unfortunate that some are so jaded and demanding in their film watching that they can no longer enjoy a simple bit of story-telling.
For the romantics, for those who enjoy a decent story (if a bit odd), for those who appreciate a twist or two during the recounting of events, this is quite a nice experience. You may have to watch the ending twice to get the all-too-quick plot twist, but it's easy enough to hit replay. All in all, worth watching.
