The mother did a good thing by not letting her son and daughter come home. a nice story about family relations healing.

It's not easy to bond with your child when they are not kids any more. Both parts have to give a chance and make an effort for a relationship to be fixed. Good story, amazing camera, beautiful colors and details

Families members that do activities together have a better possibility of learning new habits of how to "love" one another ! ❤

The power of reconciliation through action, drawing the children together with their Dad. Neatly done. I liked the beginning with mum saying “bye bye “. The voice is reminiscent of my late sister. And her son was called Oscar. So extra value personally.

Absolutely beautiful. Simple yet profound; dramatic; joyful.
