User Reviews

Warm, human, touching description about human behaviour in totalitarism. Recommended.

Very nice to see that this kind of movies are still made. The story shows us the affect the totalitarism has for people unable or too lazy to think themselves. The development of friendship of two small boys show us clearly how stupid and childish are all the reasons for racism.
