Reseña:  Setting out to visit their loved one a child curiously asks a fellow commuter Who are you going to visit? and in answer to this simple question the child learns about the love and loss in the life of a stranger. A father who lives apart from his small daughter a husband who has lost his wife a granddaughter who is forgotten by her grandfather and a mother who fears for her sons recovery. After each conversation the child understands that the other commuter has someone in their life that they love as much as I love you and it is this understanding that allows the child to explore the most universal of human experiences: the power of love in the many different forms that it can take. Visiting You also explores a sense of community. Under her mothers supervision a young child reaches out and connects with the people around them theyre not scared of strangers or people who might look scary or people who are different to them. Sometimes it can take conscious decision and determination to look past outward appearances. Visiting You encourages us to find the similarities between people instead of focusing on differences to recognise some part of ourselves in the life of a stranger.
