A film for our times, though based on true story decades ago. A black Congolese doctor relocates to French countryside with his family and face racial distancing by the locals. It's an uplifting story on how the father and the kids turn both the locals and their mother too with their talents and unconditionality. In current times when divisive tendencies are on the upswing, we need more such reinforcements.
The movie is a simple one, perhaps made with modest means. But it is highly effective at what it attempts.
The acting, especially of the female lead is very good. And the kids as well as the male lead are delightful. The villagers all play their role well.
