I love this type of movies. On the surface they seem to be so simple. There is not much happening and the dialogues are scarce. But, below this surface of apparent simplicity, there is a really strong statement. The magic here is that the force of the message relies precisely in the things left unsaid. I love this film also because of its main character, because through her short journey to visit her grandson at the war camp, we get to infer so much about the struggles of all the sides involved in any war. The devastation, hopelessness, loneliness and silliness of every war is made explicit in this movie without any pretentious plot or pompous settings or crowded action.
