Very touching.

I really really liked this movie. It is not your ordinary movie which you can almost guess what will happen next. This one has all the twists that you will be surprised that it did not show you the way that you expected to see!

The little child actor is absolutely excellent! He is the best boy actor that I have ever seen on the screen. His eyes can almost speak. And he is naive and innocent. You can feel that he is really the character, but not acting.

I especially liked the re-run of him running after the prison vehicle at the end of the movie. It touched my heart the first time, it connected me with the film at the second time.

Even though it is in Russian, but you don't feel the difference of language barrier. Those two main characters are excellent as well. The story does not have a moral to tell, but it catches your heart with all the unexpected changes.

it is definitely one of the best movie!
