Commentary:

If you are an artist in any medium, you are going to love this movie!

When I first watched it I thought it was going to be about the cat and the girl on the poster but I was wrong, this is not a fantasy movie but more of a slice of life.

Anyway, I got a pleasant surprise when I finished it because it became one of my top favourites.
