A movie about life
This movie is a gem. It made me cry and yet made me also so hopeful about life and our human existence. Despite the fact that this movie deals with the topic of war and the fight for survival lot two siblings... it is mainly about the joyful and happy little moments spent together. A run on the beach, a little fruit drop ... It is a wonderful movie that shows how precious those little moments in life are, and that everything else is meaningless... This movie was one little precious moment for me and I wouldn't want to miss it for the world
