About
You may like this if you enjoy quiet, thoughtful period dramas about survival and longing, especially if A Secret or Lourdes worked for you; Not for you if you want fast pacing or big dramatic turns.
Pros: evocative historical setting; subtle emotional drama; strong ensemble performances | Cons: very slow pace; understated storytelling; little action
