It is
only by the breath of the Holy Spirit that spiritual development can
come about. No matter how the material world may progress, no matter
how splendidly it may adorn itself, it can never be anything but a lifeless
body unless the soul is within, for it is the soul that animates the
body; the body alone has no real significance. Deprived of the blessings
of the Holy Spirit the material body would be inert.

Paris Talks, Page: 133)

"Variety," the most widely read film industry journal, hailed the movie's "warmth and charm" and said it was a "good-natured multi-character snapshot of contemporary South Africa."
The reviewer described the film as a "crowd-pleasing feel-good exercise in love and tolerance," and referred to director Mark Bamford's "fine sense of timing."
The film, cowritten by Mr. Bamford and Ms. Kay, interweaves fictional storylines revolving around a Cape Town animal rescue center.
Characters include the woman who runs the shelter, a refugee from war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo, a single mother trying to educate herself while working as a servant, a young couple unable to have children of their own, and a recently widowed veterinary surgeon.
