Some lovely and etheric shots...the lake with the lily pads is one example. This story really is about the illusions we labor under, the stories we choose to keep and the ones we should discard. What is our birthright? Is it the stories our culture try to impress upon us or is it the sacred stories our elders attempt to transmit? How do we choose what to keep and what doesn't serve us? This movie tells the story of the traps we ourselves create and the mistakes we must repeat again and again until we find our center, and thus, our truth. The actor who played the father was especially powerful...as were the scenes with the little girl. A sweet ode to relationship and what our truth is.
