Don't Ever Wipe Tears Without Gloves

Quite honestly, when I look at the personal recs on my Amazon page it reads like something halfway between a prescription pad and a porn site. If anyone found my Kindle they would quite possibly have a field day (or a heart attack depending on their point of view of course).
Therefore, when something unusual pops up in suggestions, I tend to sit up and take notice. When 'Don't Ever Wipe Tears Without Gloves' came up, I sat up and took notice. It had been aired on BBC4 which is far too highbrow for my teeny tiny brain, so I would have missed the free airings and been put off by the subtitling anyway. (It's Swedish with English titles).
However, something that well-starred was not to be sniffed at, so I ordered and then I watched. Then I cried, and I watched some more. Then I drank a bottle of red and I threw some things around. Then I watched some more and then I wrote a fic.
Generally I never post fiction without at least thinking a little, but I was saying this one aloud before I even reached the keyboard.
I normally dislike the thought of any work I do being slated, but on this occassion, I don't care. I'm also sorry to have had to use my favourite characters to express how I felt about watching this film.
Watch this if you can, everyone SHOULD see this piece at least once. Read my fic if you like, the choice on that is entirely yours.
