Good film, but not so strong and impressive for Oscar nominating (this film has been delegated from Russia). Humane, family movie. About child love. Something similar with Spielberg A.I. but realistic not fantasy. From technical point of view good screenplay and good main actor but awful sound and weak, Imperceptible music score. If you have nothing to do you can watch this movie, but don''t wait something especial. But in compare with other new Russian films, it differs in the best side. Some international prizes to prove it. And Kolya Spiridonov is great. He played very well. But unfortunately, very often young actors don''t became a true movie stars. It''s interest to see him after 10 years.
