7/10

A slow and mellow feelgood comedy with some subtle absurdist touches about the career woman taking a break to a quiet island village. Works well as a lifter upper when life is heavy. But it also has an unintentional dark flip side once you start analyzing it; A mysterious central leader that promotes a low nutrition diet while collecting "gifts" and leading collective "merci" exercises in the sun and spending days doing introspective "twilighting" and projecting carefree happiness on a secluded location with limited outside communications... Is this a cult in the making? Yes, I'm joking. Maybe.
