This movie was horrendously misinterpreted on the back cover of the box. We have a problem here with incoherent and misleading comments which, essentially, is what any consumer is likely to read first of all before deciding whether to rent the movie or not. On the back it said it was about a photographer who helps people find their loved ones after the war, which couldn't actually be further from the truth. This somehow made the experience even better when I watched the movie: I never expected the fairies (I must say I was a little puzzled by the credits in the beginning of the movie: "Fairies by so and so"), but didn't give it much thought until later. This movie turned out to be one of the best I've ever watched, containing deep emotions and a thrilling intrigue sure to keep anybody who is into mysticism alert throughout the entire movie. The angles of photography were almost perfect: I felt like I was inside of the movie at times. The acting was marvellous (despite anything anybody might say about this. I recently read a review of this film saying all the acting was lousy. I can not stress the importance of not believing this enough: The actors were warmhearted and sincere and made you believe their grief and sorrows were genuine (not much happiness in this movie)). If you have a chance, you should watch this movie if anything I say above strikes the slightest cord in you. For a short while, fairies will exist in the small world containing only you and this movie.
