Leads are both abused since a child and was helped by someone who actually has their own hidden struggles. Both also experience an abusive relationship. I kept thinking how this had the same formula as Wandering but a toned down version which leaves you with the warmth of a found family. Wandering on the other hand had a more solid plot but everything stays in the dark—it all just gets heavier. If you're the type who like movies that deal with serious topics that's got top notch actors and a seasoned director, you might want to try Wandering.
