Review

A potmaker and his friend who wants to be a soldier gets on a trip where they both become what they wanted to be. When they achieve their dreams they will find out that everything comes with a cost and sometimes what you want is not what you really have wanted.

This was a beautifully made movie. Slow pacing with its theme reminded me about Kurosawas style what is a good thing. Relaxed mystery movie what works still very well on 2024.
