About
You may like this if you enjoy slow, intimate dramas about art, beauty, and human connection, with a warm reflective mood similar to Goya's Ghosts; Not for you if you want fast pacing or a plot-heavy wartime story.
Pros: thoughtful love story; gentle, reflective mood; strong performances | Cons: very slow pace; lots of nudity; light on plot
