I've seen this form before (which is why I wish to buy it), and it's a beautiful story, superbly acted. Despite the film being subtitled, this doesn't take anything away from the content, or the portrayal of this beautiful story.

I bought this cos i was really into the earth's children books and someone asked me if i'd seen the film, so i looked it up and it was cheap so i thought i'd give it a go. There's nothing in this film that you couldn't get from your own imagination by reading the book. It's pretty dull really.
