Beautiful film about life, reflection, regret, and hope.

Unfortunately the description of the film is utterly lacking. This is more deeply profound than I imagined. It deals beautifully with the issue of depression and trauma; I can't say that about a lot of films. The nuances of the PTSD in the father are very well done, and does not give reason to his hoarding until the right time. Done with a fine touch, the interweaving of humor (some down right hilarious moments) and depression are skillfully done. It was refreshing to watch, and I hope others give it a chance. Those of us having suffered from depression/PTSD can surely appreciate the difficulty in representing such a complex disorder.
