This movie always makes me cry at the end. I can do nothing but root for the young hero.

Not a very good movie

My Movie Rating: 5 / 10

Very entertaining! 12/21/14 I just watched this gem of a boy movie again, it's been a year or so since my last viewing. I own a copy of this film in my digital download Library. Everytime I watch this show it's tugs on the heart strings, to think, an innocent little boy, torn away from his Mother at very young age! from my best guesstimation he spent about 3 to 5 years in that political prison, the only reason he survived, is because one of the high ranking Officers was one of his Mother's childhood friends! My heart went out to David for the stark loneliness he felt, and the hardships he endured in the prison. Ben Tibber does an outstanding job as David. I highly recommend to boymovie lovers!

My Movie Rating: 10 / 10

Another of those films that rests squarely on the shoulders of its main boy actor. Ben Tibber, who plays David, does a decent job though not a performance that would grant him an Oscar! It is a journey film of a boy who escapes from a camp in Bulgaria and makes his way to Denmark. The plot is implausible and Tibber's posh accent implausible as well in the context of the plot but that doesn't mean you can't sit back and enjoy this film. It portrays the enduring spirit of a child in a world that is strange to him. This was Ben Tibber's first big role and he rose to the occasion with merit.

My Movie Rating: 8 / 10

Certainly among the best films I have seen.
