Beautifully-made and touching story. A must see., 30 January 2000
10/10
Author: pyotr-3 from Washington DC

What a horrible life eleven year old Ciske has had! This story is for all people who had horrible childhoods. It shows how difficult every day can be for some children, and how callous many adults are to the needs of these love-starved children. This film will break your heart, but it also speaks volumes about the resilience of the human spirit. Beautifully made. To me the only weakness was the music: The film takes place in 1934 yet there is modern music at the beginning and end. This seems out of place. It does not ruin an otherwise marvelous film, however.
