    The kids that played the characters of Hengov and Pashow were *so* believable they really drew me into the story. However, like most movies starring children in dire straits ("Sciuscia", "Germany Year Zero", etc), they ultimately tend to be a bit formulaic at times. That said, this is still a great movie.

    A must see film for everyone who wants to see the reality of war and its effects on children of one particular village. The scenes with the children scouring the battlefields for landmines is frightening. This has got to be among the most powerful films I have come across. If you can find a copy, do see it.

    This film is a startling portrayal of children forced to grow up much too fast. I hesitate to refer to it as a "story," seeing as most or all of it is probably true, but it really is moving and should be a must-see for everyone. We have no idea what these children's lives are like - but maybe if we did, we would stop using mines and gas warfare on each other.

    One of my favorite movies! It's actually quite depressing, but, the story of this movie involves many aspects of its life, like the struggle of the siblings who care for an injured three-year-old kid, the effect of the war itself and many else..So, it's truly worth it to spend time for watching it. You learn a lot to how you live your life and the way you percept things.

    Pretty amazing: after an almost light-hearted beginning, the film becomes more brutal and sad... the slow devolution is suspenseful an deftly directed.
