Fan5/5

I had heard the story of the film's protagonist when I was young, since it was based on real events, and the movie certainly made me reflect on the importance of noticing certain signs in our children's daily lives. It is a powerful story, and I would say, quite a sad one, despite the beautiful lessons it conveys, but it is well worth watching.
