    "i can't believe childhood is over."
    "it was going to end one way or another. and what a happy end."

    this film is a part of me now. i can feel it in me with every breath i take; with every beat of my heart. i don't think this melancholy tale of childhood and sisterhood and womanhood and sorrow and joy and pure kindness and love and nostalgia will ever fail to make tears silently stream down my face...there are…
