    A beautiful movie...

    I've not seen a better foreign film than this! A touching story about a brother's concern for his naughty adorable half sister. When Domitilla gets hurt by their mom's syringe, Siddharta takes it into his own hands to bring her for a checkup. in doing so, he lies in registration etc, and goes thru all means to ensure noone finds out, especially their mother and 2 fathers(or Domitilla's dad would demand custody for her due to mother's negligence) It truly is a wonderful movie on sibling love, and i highly recommend "Shooting the Moon" :)
