This is not an easy film...certainly not your typical care-free Hollywood romantic comedy where the viewer expects a happy ending as the final conclusion. There is a lot that is happening in this film. It is an Irish-German co-production with mostly Irish actors and one American. Now, how weird is that? The movie is about a young family in the provincial town somewhere in Ireland. The husband suffers a stroke and is released from hospital under special surveillance/study made by a young American doctor whose specialty is neuro-surgery. The young wife has difficult time adjusting to a new life with a husband who seems like a child now, a very young daughter who seeks love and attention, a teenage son who has problems of his own, less than understanding in-laws, and a handsome yet very distant and shy stranger living with them whose responsibility is to teach the handicapped husband speak and live again...
I don't know what the title means or what it stands for. To me this film is about making the right choices while facing the difficulties of life. The story is very realistic and bittersweet. The ending is deep. The emotions portrayed by the actors highly believable. This is a first class European melodramatic-comedy.
