    A review by CinemaSerf

    Written by CinemaSerf on Mon Mar 28 2022
    I really quite enjoyed this - it's a gentle romance in the truest sense of the word - and the two lead performances have much to commend them. "Yad" (Majd Marko - surely a long lost Jonas brother?) takes a job keeping an eye on an elderly lady "Ans" (Jenny Arean) who has a cute grandson "Joris" (Josha Stradowski). She is pretty complicit in getting the two to hookup, and after a brief courting period... What makes this fun is that there are no family issues around their open sexuality. Sure, "Yoris" and his rich, widowed mum have issues - but they have nothing to do with his sexuality and "Yad"...
