      Little warmth from northern Europe

      In fact, this movie has no direct relationship with Christmas, but the climax of the story happened on Christmas Eve.

      One of the protagonists of the story, Kebjörn, brought out a beautiful big box on Christmas Eve, which was given to him. Christmas gift from my good friend Ai Lin. At this time, the Christmas children’s chorus program was playing on the TV. As Ailin slowly unpacked the wrapping paper, he realized that it contained the luxurious matchsticks made by Kebi Ang himself....

      A happy life with a stick

      The film I got from my friend, which was hidden in the snow for two years, gave me such a big surprise.

      The plot is similar to "Rainman" and "Forrest", but it is not inferior, and there are more comedic colors.

      The two heroes are absolute masters. The forty-year-old boy is dependent on each other, one is chasing a girl, and the other is a poet dreaming of himself. All succeeded, with a stupid tendon.

      Mom's boy, Elling has such a positioning, leaving such a simple...

      Don't think we are so stupid

      When talking about warmth and mentally handicapped people, people always think of Brother Gan and Yuren, but after that, no matter how they try to interpret the human truths given by the disadvantaged, the audience will feel a little bit sentimental, and some readers, but the two brothers Elling The meaning is not so. Don't talk about caring and reason, just talk about the little days that make people laugh.

      Nordic, films such as his Weather and People. Cold and warm surrounded by coats. To enter the society, "children" must first step out of themselves. We have given too many negative labels to the society, one by one, and the obstacles ahead have made the front... Back to myself, I was also lost in the fog. How to get there? Be brave, you won't dare to face the old man and the puppy.. Even oatmeal can create...
