All those who love beautiful story, not just children, have to see that indie movie. The movie is entertaining for any age. The young Russian actor, Alekseï Chadov (who also plays in Night Watch )is very good and you will love the little horse. More, you will discover the unknown part of Russia and its variety of Asian peoples with their own customs (played by good unknown and, maybe no-professional actors). You will make a wonderful trip through Sideria, see amazing landscapes and learn a lot about Russian even if the story is in XIX century. This story is also a little Russian history. In conclusion, a good movie for all the family!

this movie is great. It is the best Italian movies made for a very long time. Movies industry in that country slept for a long time, but now it wakes up!! Some in Europe compare it to Scorsese or Coppola movies and that's true. The actors are all very good, most particularly Kim Rossi Stuart and Stefano Accorsi. Michele Placido, director, did a very good job. The movie is 2h20, but you don't see the time passes through. It give a good picture of Italia in the 70's, bad time for the country, good time for the mafia. Sometimes, you might think that you're looking something close to "Godfather". It's not far away, but different. It's not about family link, but friendship. If you haven't seen that movie yet, you must!
