This was a wonderful character study of a young boy growing up with challenges. The contrast between the two environments mirrored the boy's ability to develop out of inhibition and make-believe to experience a normal childhood. His renewed life and vigor living in the eccentric artistic town was a joy to watch, where laughter and gaiety and playfulness abounded.

I was a little hesitant to watch it once it started, and was not in English. As the movie went on, I found that I was really enjoying it, as it was different. In my opinion, it was a pretty good movie!

Europeans aren't afraid to say how they feel. They are unashamed to be human and express their desires.

This is a wonderful film about a boy and how he copes with life. The character development is great. By the end of the film you know and care for them.
