One might conjecture that focusing on the children to the extend they dominate in the original novel from which the film is taken, Pawel Huelle's "Who was David Weiser" (title of English translation), might present too difficult a challenge to director Marczewski and hence he shifts the focus to the adults the children became. But the film misses the essential ingredient that gives the novel its unique and magical character: the slow development of David as a boy who commands the subservience of the three boys he admits into his and Elka's adventures by his uncanny abilities. Also adding to that are the clues regarding his elusive origins. One begins to wonder if David really is some sort for of apparition. But except for one brief episode, David is presented in the film as quite ordinary and the mystery of the film is not who was David, but a much more mundane, what happened to David. A disappointing attempt to film a charming novel.
