Hello! Tapir

I'm really not sure if this film was the best choice to kick off this years festival of Asian films in Prague. It's very depressing for most of the time but also very heartwarming at the same time. But in the end it will pick your mood up. But thanks to the Taiwanese representation for the welcome anyway.

Story of loosing close ones, the inevitability of death, mystery and coming to terms with the reality, however sad it may be. Introduction by the director, who disclosed it's partially based on his life, was a cherry on top. Highly recommendable. 8/10.
