It is not a simple film, as it might seem at first glance, for many it may even seem uninteresting. But I can do dance films, especially if there is a clear interplay between music, movement of different styles and "what the poet wanted to say". And here it is directly connected with poems (fables?), it is difficult to understand these sequences of the film perfectly. From minute 36 I thought one instrument was slightly out of tune, but that's part of it and that's how it's supposed to sound in East Asia. For the final dance, the music is already largely influenced by Indonesian gamelan. And the two young actors Paulo and Rocco, even without previous dance training, are very likeable (in my opinion, downright beautiful), they look good and they took on their roles flawlessly...
