a beautiful and sad movie, 5 November 2002
8/10
Author: Allansia from Paris, France

The Firefly is a very beautiful and sad movie about the destiny of young people during the world war II. The story is really interesting mostly about happened to the characters during the 40s and the 80s. The memory of war can't be erased.
