This film is less than an hour in length. Yet as I watched the movie for the first time, I was amazed at how involved I became with the two major characters in this film.
The boy (about 11 years old), and man (a criminal), both portray their characters in a believable manner. One of the mystical wonders in the world of film, is that it can somehow lure the viewer into almost "rooting" for the villain - - - which goes against everything that we would normally believe as "right".
In essence, this is a film about a boy's world... a youth who has a void in his life when it comes to adult-male guidance.... and he is willing to reach out anyone. When that adult person is also in need, such a bond becomes inevitable.
A word of warning to those easily offended by nudity... there is a scene in the latter part of this film with frontal nudity of the man and boy after a shower.
For a film that is less than an hour in length, the story is captivating, realistic, and one not soon forgotten.
