Viewing Notes

One of a handful (two handfuls?) of movies I missed when they screened at either (or both) the Denver Film Society or as part of CU’s International Film Series. Glad to see it show up on Netflix Instant so I could finally watch it.

A very affecting drama that shows how resilient children can be in the face of terrible things happening all around, and to, them.
