The movie is taken more than 10 years, started to film in 2002, and finished in 2013, and released in 2014. This is because to describe a family relation ship changing as the children growing up. So the characters are getting older in real life.

However, in the movie, there is no explanation when the scene is. The characters are growing, and time goes by before I knew.

The plot was written as the shooting going on. So no one knew the whole story when the filming started.

When you watched this movie, you can feel 12years in only 2hours 45minutes. I’ ve never seen such impressing movie before.
