"His life is just like a spark from fireworks"
If you haven't watched this - I'd recommend watching right away. Reading reviews is not necessary.
I do not often recommend in my reviews, but I feel this one is worth it. Give it a chance.

The movie starts with a simple, light-hearted story about Tony, who wants to get into university mainly to avoid working in his family business. He's willing to take any opportunity, even if it’s not something he’s really interested in. To improve his chances winning a golden ticket opportunity, he brings into the picture his (not) friend Joe.
Few more characters are introduced, like Bokeh, who could be an asset to his project, and a high school club that Tony recruits to assist him. Like in most movies, we learn more about each character and their backgrounds slowly. What made this movie special to me is HOW they did it.
At first, the movie is light and fun, with lots of comedic moments as Tony tries to get into college. But as the story goes on, we get small hints about the characters' pasts, and small plot-detours come in. Throughout this process the movie keeps your attention and takes you on a surprising emotional journey with addition of newer perspectives.
By the end, an impossible situation is solved in a beautiful way. Even the way people who are personally connected to Joe react differently from others adds an interesting touch.

The story was amazing and gave me more than I expected. The acting was fantastic, especially from the actors playing Joe and Tony. Their smiles were so warm and innocent that it left a lasting impression every time. Cinematography was wonderful, pleasing to watch. Overall, definite recommendation.
