The beauty of the film is its softness,and how effectively it blends Mystery,Romance and fear of unknown. The unlikely combination of a German girl, Jewish baker, American lady and Marlene Dietrich the dead film star makes the plot intriguing .

Director/Cinematographer Biju Viswanath, handles the theme with mastery .The theme music by the Austrian composer Christof Moser is evocative and soulful.
