Back to the basic

Little film with a "user friendly" vibe showing what is really important in Life. Great landscapes with good camera work (a bit on the conventional and evident side with the shoots) and the right color palette help to round out the story.

You know; you have a place in the World, where you ancestors lived and grown may be is your turn to take the baton however, there are other options in the Life What is more important? Traditions?; where you belong? The family? The same old stuff? or new possibilities; may be more money; other types of living etc? Tough decisions I must say. Depends on the places of course; in the case of this movie, could be a great place to make a living (if you can) But you have a strong sense of Identity; you have pride in what you have and do. You vote to take that living and stay. Also others decided to return due to the "Grandma fine cooking" (with the water of the cleanest river!) you know; back to what is good.

A good story showing great values and what is really important in Life.
