Wonderful movie where ordinary lives meet, entangle, get twisted, get resolved, meet, wonder. It's just a bookshop you might know and walk in regularly and meet your fellow human beings. The story is not important I believe in this movie. It's the interaction of lives.
Also the book is not that important, it is merely a means of touching people and let their lives progress. But this story is also about daring to be courageous and defy presumed higher authorities. It's about doing good, being good, sometimes in spite of the consequences.
It's just a little gem with true, believable characters which is a lot more than I can say of most US blockbuster movies. So the acting is maybe accordingly quite ordinary, i.e. very good, because if you are able to portray a genuine flesh and blood person, wow, you are good.
