Reviews (1)
Definitely an interesting documentary, at least in terms of the subject matter the director chose. However, what ultimately makes it even more interesting is how comprehensively she managed to grasp the topic, to show what all such collecting entails, and yet remained faithful to the people she wanted to talk about, seemingly poorer, almost lost. And you'll find something more in them too.
