Quirky filmmaker Abi Kaurismaki charms us with this deadpan tale of a community coming together to help a lost boy. It may lack edge, but you’ll come away feeling quietly optimistic about human nature.

There is something exquisitely beautiful about the quiet desperation of a broken heart. The Well-Digger’s Daughter captures this sorrow perfectly; from the excitement of the first meeting to the moment a young girl gives everything away for love, this picturesque period drama promises to captivate any audience.
