A little gem of a movie.

A superb little movie that Hollywood seems to have forgotten how to make.

Simply put, it's about an agrophobic young woman who meets the plumber that comes to fix her toilet.

The best thing about the movie is the delicate dance that plays out between the two leads and the director. The characters seem very normal, even though they have differing characteristics. Conversation flows and we learn everything about our characters very organically.

It's quite short (about an hour and twenty minutes) and the ending fits the feel of the movie perfectly.

Why don't they make romantic movies anymore? This made me pine for yesteryear.
