Monthly Art #43
This is a monthly “newsletter”, containing a list of what I enjoyed the most last month. Whether it was a full length movie, short film, music album, book or even a painting.

What I am watching
- The Biggest Little Farm (2019)
I began watching this movie with the expectation that it will be mostly about farming, but it turned out to be much more than that. This movie is about pursuing your life dreams, compassion, nature & life balance. It’s full of love, joy, sorrow and laughter. Muy recomendado
