A deep but light-hearted movie. Dealing how we see the world around us. Deals with grief and loss and wanting to escape the pain from that loss. The main character in this move wanted to run away from the pain of losing his brother that was his fault. He lived with a fantasy of leaving the earth to go to Mars and not come back. He trains and maintains that there is going to be a program calling him soon to train for the mission to live for the rest of his life along with others that will go to Mars. His family owns a flower farm and they let him to continue to say he will be leaving for Mars soon. Each one of the family members are in grief mode and they just let him be. The young man meets a young woman who turns things around and makes him question about his wish to leave for Mars. In the end he learns earth is not a bad place after all and he comes to except that things happen and you can't run from the pain. This was a strange but sweet movie.
