WOW. So powerful. As soon as the father realized what was happening he jumped off the boat to be with his daughter forever so she wasn't alone. That scene immediately brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely beautiful.

this was a very sweet father and daughter moment. No matter how hard life is for the father, he never gives up on his caught and that tells how much he loves her, so if you want to define what love is, this is it.

I was in a pretty bad car accident in 2014. One of the main things I remember is that when I went into a white light, I was thinking about how I couldn't leave my mom. I really felt a strong bond pulling me back to fight and survive. This movie reminded me of that, especially the rope part.

The daughter in the water was her slowly losing her life force but the dad was looking for her and when he found her, he threw her the rope and helped her closer but when he was slowly regaining life, she was losing life and when he let go, that was him leaving her in the afterlife and him alive but when he found out what was gonna happen he decided against it and decided to go with her and insure her company and they ended up passing away together. ;-; I’m so emotional and think too hard into things
