You, the Living

1 hr. 30 min. | Drama

“You, the Living” is a film about human being, his majesty and negligibility, joy and sorrow, selfconfidence and doubts. This is a story about things which make us laugh and cry at the same time. This is a simple tragicomedy or comic tragedy about all the people.
