A slow and meandering tale of two people with tragic pasts that meet to bring an old bungalow back to life. I'm usually pretty dense with metaphors in the overall plot, but watching as two people healed from their past while the bungalow was being fixed wasn't lost on me. It was a beautiful story, but also very tragic and sad.
At first I had a very hard time with the very descriptive and sometimes flowery language, but once I understood the flow and rhythm of the story, it seemed very natural.
