It took me a while to find this movie, but it was so worth it. Simplicity sometimes is all you need, indeed. A true, human movie about a friendship and a love relationship between a young boy and a soldier. It offers so many and deep emotions, like you're sitting back watching th...( read more)

It's very slow until Jeroen meets Walt. I was pretty bored at first, but once they meet it turns into a good movie. What I like most about it is the fact that it's not about anything, ie it's not a 'gay' movie and it's not a 'pedophile' movie. It's just two characters who (think?...( read more)

Bonita história de amizade, ambientada na época da II Guerra, entre um soldado canadense e um menino holandês de 12 anos.
Um acaba nutrindo pelo outro um sentimento mais forte do que apenas carinho e faz com que o filme possa ser visto como uma versão alternativa de "Lolita". ...( read more)
