The film explores the complexities of love and human connection in a world that seems to keep pushing people apart. The pacing is contemplative, allowing moments of silence to breathe between the dialogue, which really lets the characters' struggles resonate. You get a sense of the characters carving out their own universe, a small haven filled with warmth and spontaneity amidst an often harsh reality.
