A few words about: Mary and Max (2009 Movie)

Sometimes after i watch an Animation movie for the first time i feel happy, some other times i feel excited. Tonight it was the first time i felt thrilled, depressed and satisfied at the same time.
It all began when i got a mail from a friend about a movie called "Mary and Max" that won awards at Annecy International Animated Film Festival and Berlin International Film Festival. After I've seen it tonight i strongly advise you to spare some free time for it.





Watch the Trailer!


Plot:
"A tale of friendship between two unlikely pen pals: Mary, a lonely, eight-year-old girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne, and Max, a forty-four-year old, severely obese man living in New York"

Plot translate in Greek:
"Η ιστορία μιας φιλίας δι`αλληλογραφίας μεταξύ δύο εντελώς διαφορετικών ανθρώπων, της 8χρονης μοναχικής Mary Dinkle που ζει στη Μελβούρνη και του 44χρονου Max Horovitz, ενός Εβραίου που πάσχει από το σύνδρομο Asperger (μιας ήπιας παραλλαγής αυτισμού) και ζει στη Νέα Υόρκη"
