First of all, this is one of the best Serbian movies I have ever seen. There are to many unnecessary close-ups, especially in the beginning, and it even seemed illogical. Aspect of the movie that appealed me was an amazing plot. Supporting actors are great, but performance of the young boy who plays lead actor is out of this world. Big congrats to him as he took a very hard role and I doubt that any of Hollywood young stars would play it better. In my opinion his acting is Oscar-worthy. Just a little spoiler, but in fact it is nothing we already do not know about our world. The last scenes are so depessing and they eft me wondering where did humanity disappeared?

This great debut feature from Rsumovic is a carefully crafted film with an award worthy performance from the young Denis Muric. I have to admit, the story's premise about the wild boy founded in Bosnia's mountain didn't look very appealing to me in the beginning but the rate of growth this film achieved throughout its time period, it made me quickly change my mind.

What starts as an integration of a wildling into society turns out in a tale about the corrupt human nature. Even though the film's timeline is set on the brink of a war decade for Balkans, the war element is not used for exploitation and emotive manipulation but rather as an extra tool to illustrate a central issue of the human civilization.
