A superb adventurous feel good movie and a complete entertainer right from the start.

So he jumps off from a bridge over Hans river only to later find himself washed away to nearby small island which is not so far from the city.

Strangely a weird girl in city who never stepped out of her room for years gets to notice this person in her camera. So how she starts to community with him and how he manages to live his life there in the island , did they finally manage to meet makes rest of the story interesting.
More then the script itself , its very nice to see life in the wilderness on how he slowly evolves in time using all the limited resources available there. The scene when he tastes black been noodles from his First corn harvest was heart wrenching amd there are many more such scenes which can blow you off with strong feelings.This movie makes us realize the things which are important in life especially which are needed for a person to survive were beautifully portrayed. Though it had a happy ending still felt it as if cult short or incomplete nevertheless on a whole this is a stunning movie not to be missed.
