I saw this in high school when it first came out.
It is very charming and sweet.
It was one of the first foreign languages I saw with subtitles. Since then I have been a strong follower of foreign films.
It is interesting that there are some strongly negative responses in the other comments, that such a gentle sweet film can register such strong responses.
I look at it as a bit of a fantasy ... that it is not there to really ask us to work out the nitty gritty of what happens to children or the other relationships. It sorta says ... how would you be in this situation? Anyway .. a very nice foreign film.
