A magnificent story about the personal choices that have to be made by people caught up in intolerant times. A shy young boy is brought out of his cocoon by a wise teacher who shows him the wonder of the natural world around him, amidst the growing tensions and chaos of the Spanish Civil War. This is one of those movies whose ending leaves audience members rooted to their seats, stunned into silence. With beautiful photography and glorious classic Spanish (with clear subtitles), this is a movie not to be missed.
