I love this film ever since I saw it - it is not one of those - 'of please feel sorry for me, i come from the streets' kind of film. Its a film about dreamers and winners and about love. Totally rock-star documentary.

I think it takes a lot of courage to dedicate your life to the care of those in need. watching this film I came close to that life, I almost cried with the last song.

The director, I noticed, is also the cinematographer and the narrator. He has a very deep understanding of human emotions and a warm, kind voice.

I also loved the smooth style of editing and the haunting music by Ms. Sarma. Finally a film about a serious issue that elevated, instead of depressing me.

White and gray sculptures, white and gray humans, but myriad emotions.

I find the theme of repeating melody quite different. There is no narrative, but a strong sense of story.

Lyrical shot-taking seems to be director Dheeraj Akolkar's specialization. Every frame looks marvellous - nothing is out of place. He almost demands attention from the viewers, and asks them to look at what they hardly ever wait to see.

He presents the film almost like a homage to the city of Florence and it looks stunning. Some of the fallen leaves and darkening skies are such melancholy and meaningful images.

I had to see the film two times to understand its essence - just think it could have been simpler - for simple people like me...
