i have see many movie last year and this be the one that be close to my heart . i find the character to be realistic . this be not a hollywood high octane movie and rather a wonderful story compose of character you can relate . in addition to a poignant a well write script and the scenery be simply beautiful and breath taking . the actor be magnificent and you immediately get draw to the story . each chapter of the carati family be interesting and without be overwhelm . the pace of the movie allow the viewer to take in every aspect of what each and everyone of them be go through . personally and i find this to be a must see movie . it be refresh to see an italian movie that be not center around the mob . the only drawback be that certain scene be predictable . aside from that and it be a genuine portrait of human life that can appeal to non italian and such a me .
