Sweet and thoughtful
A Special Film
My husband and I saw this film at the KC Film Festival. It's one you won't want to miss. The story is well written and draws you in. It's an in-depth insight to the life of a caregiver for an elderly parent. Rome Brooks does an excellent job of showing us her devotion to her father, and her needs for herself. So true to life.
A sweet and gentle romance
We begin the film on a soft, gentle and quirky walk through a small town in California as we follow a lady selling fresh well water to the thirsty. The town is like a lot of rural America; dilapidated buildings alongside the loyal citizenry who hang on to the rural dream. The town struggles to gentrify without losing the rustic charm. We follow this lady to her home at the end of the day and discover she's the caretaker for a scary-looking giant, her father, who's been debillitated by some medical trauma. The lady is an inspiration, always the optimist, dedicated to family, carving out a minimal existence and getting by just fine. One day is like any other and has been for years until she crosses paths with a wanderer whose car broke down in her town. She's the reluctant one. He's the relentless one as they try to find romance without getting hurt. Unlike so many 'romances,' the story ends in an unusual but very satisfying way. I won't spoil it for you.
