Please watch this film. It is not a fantasy, more an incredibly sad tale of real events, retold in the guise of an horrific fairy tale. A metaphor for the horrors of politics and war. The story of a child you will engage with, no matter what language you speak. Before you realise what's really happening you will be transported into wonderful, fantastic images and creatures...fabulous settings and idylls, beautiful places to live for our heroin.
If this film doesn't make you cry there's something wrong with you.
