Jogo da Vida

Now there are so many films about deadly diseases, but this one is not like any other. A true masterpiece of Dutch cinema.

The main character of Ekka is a bright and cheerful little man, she is a leader in her class. And then at one point everything changes, because of the diagnosis - leukemia... And then comes the realization that life will never be the same again.

A touching movie that is worth watching for everyone. It teaches true friendship, faith in the best and the fact that you always need to remain human. In general, the film touched to the core. In the end, I couldn't hold back my tears, and I'm not ashamed of it at all. After all, tears are also a kind of manifestation of humanity, and not weakness at all...

When someone asks for advice on what to see, I often recommend him. For me it's all 10/10!!! I'll say right away I don't like to watch films, but I watch this one 20 times and with the same emotions as when I first watched it. When I first watched this film, initially I did not expect any super emotions and something serious from it. I did not understand what an ordinary teenager could face ... what he could go through, what his family, friends and classmates could go through. Over this film, I cried for a long time and a lot, maybe it's because the film touched something inside me, I honestly don't know. It touches on all the topics and this film is suitable for any generation.

"Achtste Groepers Huilen Niet", "Eight graders Do not Cry" and titled in Mexico as "Los chicos cool no lloran" is a good dramatic and poignant film that shows part of the life story of Akkie, a 12 y.o. girl that likes to play football at school where also is a popular girl with a good heart and given to his studies.

Her life takes a turn when she is diagnosed with Leukemia and begins the ordeal that turns out to be the cancer treatment in pediatric oncology ward of the hospital where she is treated.
