    ★★★★★

    The wind is the soul of this film.
    i feel like its impossible to talk about this movie without just surrendering to it. Feels like a love letter, a dream, a quiet yet deep ache all at once. The wind isn’t just wind, it’s a force that carries you forward whether you’re ready or not.

    "Who has seen the wind? Neither I nor you: But when the leaves hang trembling, The wind is passing through."

    Through the Olive Trees

    ★★★★★

    This film moves at the pace of a lazy afternoon, where time slows down, and every glance feels like a secret shared between the leaves. Love? Oh, it’s there but in the quietest of whispers, wrapped up in awkward conversations and the beauty of simply standing near someone. It’s a film that’s less about what happens and more about what could have been.

    10/10 for making longing feel like a warm summer breeze.

    "Why does love - the absence of love, the end of love, the need for love - result in so much violence?"

    What a powerful moving and evocative piece of media. It discusses and explores motherhood, the morality and philosophy of both motherhood and girlhood and everything in between. This Film stirred deep emotions within me that made me reflect on the deep truths that often go unnoticed—truths that women, with their different ways of looking into this world, see and honor in every moment.
