Quirky. Real.
Real quirky.
Don't listen to negative reviews.
Try it.
Glorious depiction of a boring life turned around, for just a minute.
Some cruelty, strange passages and events.
Modern day Cinderella with some quirky realness.
Don't be afraid.
Try it.
This is probably the quirkiest movie I've seen in over a decade or two. For one the movie has no dialogue from start to finish. And two, the movie revolves around a bra. Accept that simple story line and you will find this movie interesting. I think it's what got me to watch it all the way, to see how the story evolves.
But even without any dialogue, the actors where able to convey their intentions well and the movie articulate the story through acting and great direction. I mean, you fully understood what was happening. No need for complex explanation - it's all simple. And the whole thing surprisingly works extremely well.
A good way to summarise the type of story this is, is... it's a different take on the Cinderella story. Just using a bra instead of a glass sleeper.
Give it a go, you might get some amusement from it - just like I surprisingly did.

Great acting, beautiful shots, awesome music and most of all, an interesting story said without speaking a word.
Definitely for the more intelligent viewers.
I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm glad I saw it on a whim. It didn't take long for the silent story to captivate me, and having travelled myself to similar cultured places was surprised to see the authenticity. The story is an obvious take on Cinderella where the protagonist is trying to find one specific person who owns this bra. But with a unique culture twist. I enjoyed it very much
If you love good old 36 mm cinematography, if you love pantomime, if you love silent movie, and wish to be placed back 40 years in todays '' modern life'', then take a look at this one. its just phenomenal.
i havent seen thelike since i saw'' adventures of picasso'', swedish made 1978, to find the same kind of inner joy to view a silent film.
this is a masterpiece in its genre, extremely well made and acted. a recommend from the grumpy old man
