It's more of a plea for help.
It's one of those movies that makes you so angry at the world and how things work, as you meet this character that seem so aggressive yet so desperate for help and is trying to run away from the first scene, she dashes out of her mother's place to go find her father with nothing but an address on an old letter he sent her when she was born 16 years ago.
She keeps reminding herself that she can do this and that she is fine, even though she's the furthest thing from being fine at all.
Nothing ever comes easy, the journey there is rough and she gets man handled and thrown out of a taxi for not having enough cash for the ride, or so the driver says, then having to find a bus to take her, then when she finally reaches the place, she gets busted as if she was a criminal and gets pushed to the ground and cuffed, this is one brutal scene, not to mention the rest of the movie.

I don't want to ruin it for you but it is one of those movies that you just want to watch in one breath as you are terrified for what's going to happen next to the poor girl "Apple" how is she going to survive and strive against all this, meanwhile her so called mother is out to get her.
You have to develop some tears while watching this, if you've not cried at the end of it. The amazing bond a mother forms with its baby before it's even born is purely heartwarming and amazing, how a little girl can be so strong willed and protective of something she haven't met yet and doesn't know what it is, yet decides it's all what she has in the world.

I think this movie might be underrated, I have been eyeing it for a while and I just never got to watching it, I wonder if others did that too, I've not met anyone who've seen it, have you ?
