A realistic and moving portrayal of life in the streets of Sri Lanka

The one's of you who may judge my note too generous should first take some time to watch this movie first.

I'm a man and don't really get too emotional on movies but this, has made my heart fill with sorrow and despair more than once.

Without spoiling I would say the film portrays the daily routine and struggle of a family living in the streets, earning barely enough to feed themselves by busking.

They have to face and tackle issues and dreams and the plot is not at all romanced and pretty realistic. However reality is sometimes cruel.

I was Absolutely amazed by the actors performances especially the kids.

I highly recommend this to anyone, the message is pretty universal, personally it'll change my perspective and my way of life for sure.
