The movie follows the life of a man seeking forgiveness and redemption. He tries to equalize his mistake in the past by changing the life of seven strangers. Along his "mission", he needs to be sure that the people he is about to help, will not waste his sacrifice. An unexpected event with one of these strangers - which is called love - makes his decision much more painful. At the end, his journey will forever change the lives of not seven, but eight people, including his own.
Well, I don`t know how the heck did the writer of this movie came up with this idea, but I`m glad he did. It is a real masterpiece. The director of the film made the story to evolve just the way it should be made. The actors are performing amazingly realistic and natural. All of them. I just added these together and gave it a 10 without any doubts.
When I watched this movie, I could not help thinking about "how it`s gonna end?", "what is this man doing?". It kept me thinking, and I like these kind of movies. On top of that, I watched it with my girlfriend and with my brothers. We made up a lot of assumptions through the whole movie, and believe me, there was some wild ones. It was a plus fun for us. But guess what? We were shocked when we realized what`s really going on. And because of that I`m gonna give you some advice: if you are a sentimental one, prepare some handkerchief.
