Reviews (1)
A beautiful, human story about what can happen when a little boy meets someone he doesn't know at all and whom he doesn't like, but with whom he must spend some time. Sure, it's quite reminiscent of Kolya, but I wouldn't look for any major inspiration here. It just turned out to be an excellent film on a similar theme.
