It's a shame that this beautiful and sad film has waited neary fifty years before being released in France. There are thousands like this one totally invisible in western Europe, so let's take advantage of it. This movie is about childhood, cruelty and also a metaphor of the political communist regime of this period in Soviet Union. It deserves to be seen several times to fully understand it. It seems sweet, light hearted and smooth to watch but underneath, it is painful, thanks to this small girl performance, so moving, so tearful. Definitely a very sensitive film to enjoy.
