Heartwarming and Heart wrenching all at the same time

Not at all what I thought it was going to be like.

We were really surprised actually. In a good way.

The little kid Ibraham Paris plays an amazingly strong role for such a young actor. It is really heartwarming how good he is and how well he brings across the feelings of his character, rather then relying on the older characters to do it for him.

And the setting and the music were absolutely magical. The desert is such a perfect place to set this kind of story as there is really nothing to distract you from the characters and their stories as the backdrop is just bare. Stunning to look at none the less, but still, not a lot grows in the desert.

The only thing that annoyed me is this film was billed as being French. Which was not strictly true. Parts were in French. But the rest of the film was in another language, Arabic or something similar we think, with French subtitles, so not technically a french film. Still it was magical to watch and we both really really enjoyed it. It was a heartwarming and at times heart-WRENCHING story and one that no doubt we will visit again in the future.
