Lindo, me lembrou um filme de Robin Williams " What Dreams May Come".

@enoildesl 1

I was one of the lucky ones to have seen this a year before in a screen test. 🥰 it inspired me to write and as a scared and timid teen-adult, I wasn’t brave enough to go after the dream till much later, still working on it. This is unfortunately a grossly underrated and greatly over looked movie. 😭 And yet I understand why. It does flash backs with no explanation and it removes Jesus and other religions. A lot of people can’t handle the idea of an afterlife without associating it with a religion.
