    Husband and son are the best duo, the whole film was enjoyable, even though the story is not like that. I had a good time and watched without stopping, the actors, the interior and the atmosphere apparently absorbed me completely. A classic that you can safely watch and recommend.

    A good, but not outstanding, in my opinion, family drama. It’s good because it immerses you into the plot, and the actors play the alienation amazingly. Not outstanding – due to the hypertrophied vulnerability of the characters. You believe in some breakdowns, but not in some loud showdowns. Translated to English
