There is almost nothing to this film. The plot is almost non-existent and the sub-plot is merely a reference point. Thankfully, it was made in Europe. There are no Disney-esque style orchestras blaring every five minutes, or giant robot spiders appearing in the final act. Instead you will be treated to some remarkable acting, and solicitous directing. I found myself completely sucked in by how naturally the events took place throughout, and how each performance told the story. After losing his wife in a tragic accident, Pietro attempts to help his daughter through the grieving process by waiting for her each day in the park across from her school. While spending his days waiting for a wave from the class window, Pietro’s old life refuses to leave him alone. Is it really that crazy to spend some time sitting under a tree? Ok, maybe 6 hours a day is weird, and outside a primary school is creepy, but the neighbourhood sympathises, and everyone tries to help somehow. Sad, funny, tragic, absorbing - beautifully simplistic.
