"Weeklong romance"

The casts did well. If you are looking for romance, this isn't the film for you. The movie explores some ordinary scenario of Filipinos living abroad. They leave home, misses it, had a glimpse of the old home (through the people they meet), succumbs to temptation, but in the end, faces reality. For me, Majhoy did not really feel the 'romantic emotion', but more on the feeling of missing her old home, the Philippines. She met Nico, reminisced the Filipino tradition, the Filipino hospitality, the Filipino bond. Nico had mistaken the giddiness of Majhoy everytime they are together as love. However, the reality is that: Since the start, Majhoy had chosen her future, her life, and that is in Faroe.
Overall, the movie depicts the truest, most realistic scenarios in such circumstances.
