many people, including myself, were sobbing in the auditorium throughout this film. an affecting story that will have you laughing and crying at the same time.

here are the main themes that stood out to me:

> feeling small and inconsequential in the vastness of the world around us.
> how to cope with change, and its inevitability.
> the relationship between filmmaker and subject
> dealing with the death of a loved one
> making the most of your circumstances, and finding peace in simplicity.
> the importance of community balanced with the importance of meditative 'time for yourself'
