The locations and sets, both in and outdoors, create an earthy, transcendent backdrop to this engaging story. A man and a woman have suffered deep emotional pain--hearts aching from loves tragically lost--one in childhood, the other so recent that the pain becomes palpable, yet the heart-warming serendipity they experience with family and friends makes this tale truly satisfying. Camera work, apparently done on a de minimis budget, captures the beauty of Australian orange orchard lands set amidst the bucolic environs of Mildura, Victoria, Australia, creating a deep urge to call Quantas for a flight down under! The Flashbacks that interlace the unfolding relationship of the naturally stunning Heidi with the brooding yet engaging Michael, opened their hearts and souls such that I felt as if two new people had come into my life--at least for one truly enjoyable evening!
