Watched this film tonight and it had a big impact on me. I related to the family and was interested how it panned out as I was brought up in a single parent family. I know what those kids went through, I knew the pain of the father trying to hold a job and bring up the kids. The acting was top notch and nothing seemed forced. It reflected a slice of life that people don't always think about. They were content and not that poor but fairly poor.
Tommi was perfect in his role as was viola his sister. They had a great camaraderie between them and the acting was natural. The children in the school felt like they belonged in another era, their behavior seemed to be impeccable and something I wish we could see in todays society. A great directorial debut and I will always come back to this gem.
