    • Trivia
      When Arno and Teele are sitting in the heap of snow, the wind seems to be very strong. Actually, during the filming, there was no wind at all, so a huge aircraft engine had to be brought to make some wind.

      Georg Adniel Kiir: Toots, get down from there, you'll break apart!

      Joosep Toots: No. Listen, iron my right calf, I think I'm having a cramp!

      Joosep Toots: [Kiir starts to massage the leg]

      Joosep Toots: [starts laughing] Oh! You bastard, don't tickle!

    That kids eyes wooo!
    Very children of the corn without any corn or malice! Very nice film, it was sweet and thougtful and kind. I wish the work of the original author was readily at hand and all of his film adaptations readily available but that is not the case, yet we have this one and it is very nice. I highly recommend it; it was funny and sad and weird and fun and strangely haunting, I really think that kid's eyes tripped me out! lol, very cool movie...
