This touching story brought tears to my eyes. The love between the father and mother and their daughter, while dealing with the harsh realities of their lives is something that is expressed throughout the film. The filmmaking is well executed with beautiful visuals and thoughtful editing. It makes you think about how much of your own life you take for granted. It gives us insight into another culture as we see how hard the lives are of the father working as a miner and the mother as a rug weaver. Recommended for ages 10 to 18.
