It’s seductive, but in a very delicate way

This is a movie that has the ambition to win an award at the Berlin Movie Festival in 2020. The movie is very high qualitied, some of the plot is very seductive, but in a very delicate way. The whole movie is exquisitely seductive, but it doesn't feel erotic. Instead, it makes you feel a little sad, not in the style of Redux Bugis Street (1995) or No.7 Cherry Lane (2019), It's the kind of sadness that makes you forget to press the pause button and take a screenshot because you are so immersed in the story that you even want to cry after watching the movie. That's the kind of sadness that movies can bring to you.
Maybe it's because I'm old enough to overlook the visual impact of the body when I see these actors in great shape. I just smile at the screen and pray for them.
