A very emotional film about all the nuances of life. The beauty, the hardships, happiness, loneliness, courtesy, carelessness, secrecy are all themes carefully entwined in this story of a gentle man selecting people to give them the ultimate gift of being born. He is also aware of the complexities one will face when going through life. Some people get through it easier and some struggle a lot more no matter how decent they are "I send flowers, and other people send pigs to eat them" is one of his quotes from the film which describes that perfectly. The performances are top notch, the photography simple but beautiful and emotion is high. It is hard not to think about Nine Days after watching it. It might make you reflect on your own life as well. Definitely recommended.
