Reviews (1)
Definitely an interesting documentary, at least in terms of the topic the director chose to work on. But in the end, what's even more interesting is how extensively she managed to grasp the subject, showing all the aspects that such collecting entails while remaining true to the people she wanted to tell the story of, seemingly poorer and lost at first glance. You can find something more in them as well. ()
