Review
“This is not a love story – this is a story about love..” Already in the beginning a narrator makes clear what this movie is all about. The movie tells a simple story about a couple who falls in love and illustrates all the up and downs of their relationship. Luckily this movie avoids the typical clichés of romantic movies. It is rather realistic,what I loved about it. No sob stuff or anything like that, just a feel good movie. In the end there is a romantic movie which is suitable for both, boys and girls..
