Overview
Zeynep Altin (Naomi Krauss) is at the end of her tether. She’s over-worked and pushed around by her husband, daughter and aging father. Her mother’s death and her funeral, which nearly ends in total disaster, is the last straw for Zeynep – she leaves Munich and escapes to an island in Croatia. In the house her mother bought secretly years ago, and gifted to her in her will, she hopes to find peace, freedom and herself. If only the former owner, Josip, an islander through and through, wasn’t still living on the same property…
Sure, we’ve seen this movie done many times before. But then again, so has just about any other movie. While this movie drifts dangerously close to becoming a Hallmark channel movie I think that it ever quite gets there. Beyond that… I really enjoyed the movie. I found the chemistry between the leads to be fantastic and I found myself rooting for them (something I rarely do). You can certainly do worse than this movie.
