I decided to review this film after reading a wonderful description. “Good, sweet, witty movie,” really? So, several women, friends and acquaintances a few years ago, get together on the occasion of the birth of two of them a child. Since the beginning of the film, there are so many lesbians in the frame, in fact, only lesbians around, and they all communicate, tell something, ask, talk like true women, that it is impossible to immediately remember who is who, of course.
Girls spend time in a country house and in nature. They chat, play baseball, talk again, remember their mutual early deceased girlfriend. And they give each other really smart, good advice: You have to live if your best man is gone and doesn't come back. Find someone to talk to. Live in the present.
One of the friends came with her new girlfriend Candy, who is much younger than everyone else. Due to Candy’s age difference, it’s not easy. Her questions are inappropriate, and she can not understand the jokes of the company. However, her friend quickly sends Candy back, feeling this age difference.
Mary and Josie once loved each other very much. Their relationship was not easy, they parted, and a heavy feeling and resentment on the soul of each of them remained. When they meet now, they feel that their relationship to each other is very deep, important, but they try their best to convince themselves with reason and logic that they cannot get closer and open up to each other again. Mary’s friend asks her, “Maria, how do you feel?” and lets her answer honestly about her feelings.
The film was really light and easy. This is seen all the time throughout the film, and how filmed, and how the heroines behave, how to communicate and what advice they give. Girls fool around on the grass, and in the background the dog races merrily into the pond. One evening, the whole company releases candles into the pond, then sings and dances, and on the branches of the trees shine magic lanterns. And — oh yes, very beautiful love scenes, absolutely natural, real, you can’t find fault with them and, apparently, those who made such a film, know lesbian life is not from the outside. I also fell in love with the Spanish music in the film.
And as it turned out, the film was made in memory of a girl who lived a short life, who died in 1980, which means that the story told in the film is real, which was even more pleased. The film is really bright, light and optimistic, after such films you want to live, no matter what.
