    just wonderful

    a wonderful film that will move you to tears and also make you smile often, i felt privileged to have seen this and spent some time trying to find a copy as it is not readily available, came across this site and have downloaded some films, this is my number 2 film after the film Urga for which you need to make use of the subtitles,i watched this and others with my eleven year old daughter, this being the first time she watched some quality instead of the usual dross,she said and i quote "i didn't think they made films like that" she was in tears but also elated bu the experience, there is not much else i can say. watch and enjoy. free to download via torrent at secret-cinema.com.

    Thank you for the explanation. Tom and Lola's nudity was explained by their immune deficiency, but when I first saw the movie, I didn't see any explanation for the nudity of the three children. I suspected that the producers were merely supplying the viewers with another serving of eye candy.

    Strange flick

    The plot of this movie (two ill children escaping the bubble they live in to take on an endeavour in the outside world) is very thin and failed to sustain my interest. Perhaps, the symbolism didn't get to me. Many times, I asked myself where all this was heading. The poetic aura left me emotionally disconnected and questioning the purpose of my viewing. It is however, a very unusual and gutsy film for which the director should be praised. For those easily offended, please take note that the children, portraying the title characters are nude for nearly the entire movie.

    Bare buddies like bare fibers of our innerselves trying to escape and connect...

    This is a beautiful treat for visual enjoyment. The very simple idea of two "overhealed" or "overwatched" little souls wanting to rebel and discover and explore and travel and kiss and connect. Simple, but beautifully stripped for us to enjoy seeing something that we already know. It is like life breathing on you from the screen, the dream life.... Don't expect anything especially deep or revealing from it, just "Alaska, Tikera :)".... But you'll remember. Thanks to Bertrand Arthuys for this exceptional work....

    Brave Movie.

    Only the French could have made a movie like this, and it is a shame that movies like this will never be made again. . .

    It was a bit strange and surreal and at the same time very bold and artistic. You really have to watch it at least twice to catch the point. Are they really aliens? Do they have a virus and need to live out their lives in plastic bubbles so as not to infect others? (I caught the fact that a virus is mentioned in a few parts in the movie) Do they have immune deficiently and have to live in a sterile environment? Or is the entire movie a metaphor for overprotective parents? As other's have pointed out there is nudity in the movie, however it is quite tame and not what most people would think when reading the reviews, and it was handled in such a way as to be both artistic, harmless, and to portray the innocence of the two--and in a way so that about a quarter of the way through the movie I stopped noticing it--and was more interested in what would happen to Tom and Lola.

    The end of the movie did make me think, and I was both happy and a little sad for the both of them. I must say as a writer of Science Fiction and Fantasy I liked the movie and give credit to the film's creators, writers and actors for undertaking a very bold and interesting project.

    As I said, this is a rare, interesting and visually imaginative movie, the likes of which we will probably never see again . . .
