Wow. The performance in this film by all the actors in phenomenal. Wonderful beautiful visuals. The landscapes of the island are too beautiful and it hands a hold on you, like the way water has on an island. The story and its parallels with the war. The fight on nothing and it costs both sides a great deal of pain and misery. Additionally, someone totaly innocent gets in the crossfire. This is the same what happens with the fight of two best friends. It doesnt matter, who wins, or not. It is the friendship, honesty, trust, niceness we lost. Sometimes I think it is streched a bit but then so are the wars. So it is a perfect metaphor for that. The dread of not becoming known, successful or someone who will remember you after death. It is real. But to have a frightening thing to guide you to reach the goal. We forget, it is the journey that matters not the destination. The sisters story is having a great arc. Knowing you want better for your life. But to leave the homeland you have to left somethung behind. Even if it is something you love. Highly recommend this to my film mutuals. Not for everyone though.
