Director‘s Statement:
A dish re-made from scratch; a young man reformed. A sum of money that is assumed to have been stolen but has actually just been misplaced; a wallet that is assumed to have been forgotten at home but has in fact been stolen. The many things that have been lost are eventually reclaimed when we open our hearts and offer our trust. This is a story about forgiveness and tolerance, a story about growing up. As the title of the film implies, even the biggest, most devastating mistakes, faults, and losses are no big deal in the end, because everything that was once lost can eventually be found again.
