.....a little girl in a swing left alone in a inner city park in Rome-Italy. An older woman looking for her missing dog comes upon her and the rest is their story of how this little imp impacts all she meets. As noted by another reviewer one sees the near squalor these kind ones live in but their love and concern for the little one is there throughout.
I remember a slogan I recall "The rich are scared and cold but the poor are warm and brave." Not all rich mind you nor all poor rather one watches the hardscrabble lives lived and all is changed when Asia 'pops' in.
We wait and wait with the cast for the missing mother and wait we must to feel the impending sorrow...
So many scenes to pick from my favorite was about >1 hour in when Asia is riding a tent line like a horse and then scampers off.
For me the one thing that I do so hope to be able to do in Heaven is to turn anyone I see into a 3 year old....
Matthew 18:12-14King James Version (KJV)
12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? 13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
