I'm not sure how much of one significant aspect of the professor's relationship I should reveal here, probably none. This is a very emotional movie that looks at how one copes with a major loss. Yet, I felt like an outsider looking in ... that says more about me than the movie. The emotional connections started to form towards the end. The use of color fading in-and-out to depict the state of mind or the focus of of the main character is quite nice. I liked the artsy cinematography. My Rating: 7.5
