This extremely touching movie about and old man and his budding romance is a real gem. Don't read up about the plot before you watch this movie The subject matter has been dealt with in some Hollywood and French movies but in a dry one dimensional way. This movie is so much better and wide ranging. Plus it feels real and has humor which most Western movies about this don't. I won't discuss the plot twist because there will be so much more impact when if you don't know it. Everything fits in and feels even more poignant when things come together.
