“This story started out as a novel, and only later did I decide to turn it into a movie script. This film feels intimate, a story that belongs to me. It’s classic, it’s polite and also very private, but then it cracks open to reveal the wounds, the laughs and the tears, the brother-like friendships, the passion and the fear, the trauma, and the irony of life” – Amanda Sthers
