The location is charming and the actors are excellent. It is more about courage, endurance, following your dreams and the unfortunate fact some folks just enjoy sewing oppression and sadness with their power and position instead of using it for good. Enjoyed the movie but depressed by the reality there are those with no ethics or compassion who just enjoy destroying the dreams of others just because they can. Ok. It is fiction. But, just a different type of nasty mean-spiritedness we are seeing today in politics & power struggles.
