Such a beautiful and whimsical feat of storytelling!! A v unique and surreal plot that rly captures the imagination, while also being v gentle and introspective with our protagonist. Not what I expected, and the first 1/4 was a bit slow, but then i found this so engrossing - mystery and philosophy, statues and self-discovery - enjoyed this a lot more than I expected !
