• Plot twist: The mother’s letter at the end of this movie really adds surprise and meaning to the movie.

• Happy ending: I do love happy ending movies that's why I choose this movie to have a happy ending. So with this my thought I truly believe the audiences too will be leave inspired, which is often favored in many family drama categories.
