One of the unknown faces of communism.

I've seen this film in the Festival International de Films d'Amour (Love film international festival) in Mons, Belgium, while spending one year in Belgium as an Erasmus student. This film was one the greatest surprises of the festival. However, it wasn't on competition. I agree with the previous spectator's opinion. I have to add a commentary about one of the scenes I was shocked by: an extremely poor shepherd who cannot read or write is taken to court accused of being imperialist and opposed to communism. The reason? Some of his goats had moved some of the stones that composed the slogans the day before and was finally sent to prison. Too sad. If you have the possibility of seeing the film, go for it.
