When one's life is coming to an end, a review is being done. All achievements, all legacies and most importantly, all the love given and taken. All relationships will be reunited. Memories will be told. Everything that can be taken will be organized and packed.
In the story of Ramon, it is spending time with those who matter, seeking for forgiveness and saying " I love you." Saying you love another can be in so many forms. It can be in words or actions. In a family set up it is all about presence- physical or not. It is understanding another regardless of your stand in life. It is giving time for wounds to heal. It is something constant that no one can take it away.
This is a movie that is almost painful to watch. It contains so many realities too awkward to address, like Pandora's box. Questions avoided will soon knock for answers, even at the end of one's life. It took courage for a family to face it. Whatever happened, love prevailed.
In this movie, I learned that problems will be there. It will never be avoided. Pain will come with it, in an inevitable and debilitating manner. However, it is not a reason to stop. You cannot stop to lick your wounds. You just have to get a band aid, cover the wound and endure the process. I am not there yet, but in the movie, they all came out with a bigger understanding in life. So I guess, I will be okay.
