Please ignore my previous comment. Unfortunately the film I watched had started half way mark which is why the film didn't make sense. My bad.
Great film. Pity it was edited like it was. My daughter co directed this film so I know the original story line. Unfortunately it has been edited strangely and doesn't really make sense. But fantastic acting and congratulations to all on a fantastic job
