Incredibly moving. Realistic examination into memory and morality, the personal past and collective. Some regrets will never be forgotten, nor can anything else fill up the void and all that’s left is to chase the regret until you collapse west of the sun. But somehow the lucky ones are able to carry on, with someone’s warm hand on the shoulder.
