Trivia
The story is based on the life experience of the director as a little boy.

Goofs
When the film opens within the first few seconds after the credits have finished there are boys swimming mostly nude in the pool/bath. The boys are jumping in and out and some even do flips in to the fool. A child of about 10 does a flip but he does so just outside the pool edge and nearly if not slightly hits his head on the pool edge. Another boy about 11 appears to step out of character for a second to ask if he is OK. Apparently he is and the boys continue to play and there doesn't seem to be any type of stoppage in the film. This is a very close call which could have been very tragic.

10/10

A story of an orphan who is being adopted by a Jewish couple. In 1943, in Hungary's Eastern part.

This movie is probably the best holocaust-movie ever made. Not operating with violent scenes or showing hordes of German soldiers or SS-criminals, gas chambers or concentration camps, but every single minute of the movie is full with fear, love, and struggle for a future. The shepherd's stubborn fight against his own destiny and the destiny of his people filled with so much plain human depth what is almost unbearable. I saw men crying like babies watching this movie (I must admit - I was one of them) because its beauty and tragedy are simply not conceivable. You feel hopelessly lost and helpless, but somehow being a better human being by the catharsis. The movie is also a trustworthy, authentic and accurate testimony of the destiny of hundreds of thousands of Jews from the rural countryside in Hungary. A must see.
