A wonderful turn one's life around even through depression story and utterly enjoyble to watch as she (the main character) does this, sometimes by trial and effort, by taking chances, by risking it all, by finding her strength and through change but also by making friends with unlikely people in a foreign country and ultimately finding love, though never, of course, where she expected to find it in the first place. A good "follow your gut instinct or calling" in life movie, even if you just know that you know something is the right thing to do and everyone else thinks you're crazy at that moment or "rebounding" off something else. Sometime the spirit in a person has a knowing, a call to do "a particular something" that they KNOW is right and if they have the courage to follow it, it often is an amazing adventure
