Drifting Flowers (2008)

Rated: ♥♥♥♥ (4/5)

Drifting Flowers is a combination of three separate storys that are loosely related to one another. The first of the three is about a blind singer struggling to raise her little sister. Problems arise when the club the girl sings at hires a new accordian player, Diego, who wins the hearts of both sisters. The second story is about an old woman with alzheimer's. Her husband, a gay man with HIV returns and the woman is convinced that the man is her dead partner. The third story revolves around Diego(the accordian player) at a young age dealing with body issues.

The biggest issue with the movie is that it was kind of confusing. The timelines don't really seem to add up and it kind of appears that the people in the second story are much older than they should be. Also, it was kind of a bummer. However, we did find the movie very visually stunning. It was shot very well and the chicks in the movie were exceptionally hot - although it should be noted that we have a thing for asians.

Overall, we really liked the movie but not enough for 5/5
