It was a pleasure to watch this movie and thus making an attempt to word it with my feelings.
Inner meaning;
Loved every moment of the film .....What an incredible movie !This is based on a true story which does not hide the realities of the life of an African farmer during the difficult time of famine.This story humbled me and made me realise that at some point of time in life ,one has to be grateful for those around the world.It is no doubt a refreshing change from all the Hollywood blockbusters.
