You saw me take my first steps and you have seen me grow.
But like every daughters time comes, mine has too.
I'm leaving the only place I ever called home,
To live in a foreign land where I'm supposed to belong.
If so, why does it not feel like mine?
Why do I still crave for a place that's too ashamed to call me its own?
Nevertheless, I can't deny. You have given me everything I could ask for and much much more,
for that I'll be forever grateful.
And now that you are so far away from me, I can't help but only cherish these memories.
To you, I might be another expat but to me, home is you.

It is an extremely beautiful and heart touching movie, the sort which makes you smile through tears. The acting is exceptional, and you can't help but fall in love with the characters. I liked how they explored the complexity of the characters, and didn't just make it black and white with clear 'heroes' and 'villains'. Nobody's perfect. Love is not fearing they would get taken away from you, it is fearing that you may not be good enough for them. Gifted is an example of fluent storytelling of a simple story with basic courtroom drama and emotions. The scene of maths are beautifully portrayed, not exaggerating the girl's abilities but showcasing her as
