When I first I heard of this movie, I thought it would be lighthearted "Sunday afternoon entertainment", such as "Valentine's day". Though I always had great admiration for some of the participants in this project, my expectations weren't high. But I was wrong. And I'm really glad I was wrong, because watching it was a very special experience.
Some of the segments made me smile, some almost drove me to tears and one even left me with deep feeling of uneasiness. The point is all of them evoke emotions in viewer. If you expect some epic drama or a movie with strong social message, you may get disappointed, but if you would like to watch warm and inspiring little movie about everyday people, their love, hopes, dreams and struggles, you're in the right place. I personally found some characters easier to relate to, than the others, but there's no doubt that each and every one of them was well written (and portrayed as well). You may not know their past or entire story, but aspects of their life presented in a five minutes or so, say a lot about them.
In modern cinematography unfortunately isn't usual to find a movie that represents human soul with all its layers and little details, because the most beautiful messages should not be presented through special effects, nor received by eyesight only. They should be received by heart itself and this movie succeeded in sending such message.
