This film explores the challenges of coping with the sudden loss of a family member. It highlights how a small town can offer a sense of belonging, allowing newcomers to either remain outsiders or become part of a close-knit community. What truly stands out is the movie’s restraint with romance, instead prioritizing the story of the town itself. The acting is excellent and creates a warm, cheerful atmosphere.
