    • Trivia
      Writer-director Rolf de Heer said of this film: "I'm really interested in the way children think, and I have quite strong memories of childhood and how I thought" explained de Heer. "I do remember quite strongly feeling that adults underestimate the way children think and that I must never forget that, so that when I became an adult I wouldn't make the same mistake."

    inside scoop on divorce
    This movie is GREAT! It has a very unique point of view, learning about divorce through the eyes of a child. The audience is given the ability to read the childs mind, in a sense, because she is unable to speak. Very much worth watching!!
