Loved this film for the frogs, the fish and the friendship! The simplicity and the details of a slice in time of a life lived together with friends and environment appealed to me. Narrated by the older woman we see as a child gives a warm delicate dream-like quality beyond a child's story or the refusal to accept change.
Sometimes even through tough times the simplicity in love is remembered warmly as well as a warning for the present. The marshlands long gone and industrialisation changing relations relationships and the environment means an altered humanity, a city-scape industrial human with strangeness as estrangement from the smaller town social interactions and knowledge, the stories shared, to a more work oriented life denying world without fishing for supper and frogs where you can find them.
Light came and did light up the marshlands once from a amile and close friendship, then to memories of this love in the lights of the new city.
