This film is so amazing you will find yourself thinking about it when you least expect it. Little Victoire Thivosole will break your heart. She is a four year French girl (French, with English subtitles) that was in a car accident in which her mother did not survive. Her angry, grieving father sends her to a relative and later to a boarding school where she cannot accept her mother's death and keeps waiting for her to return. I have never seen a child so young exude such emotion....it is absolutely heartwrenching to watch when she cries. Spellbinding. It does have a happy ending...that is a consolation. This movie is very difficult to find on DVD....I paid quite a bit for it on Ebay but well worth it. Superb. And her young male cousin is a riot......cynicism starts young with some. Highly recommended.Read full review

This moving documentary-like film describing the coping skills of children is much more than the some of its parts. The scenes are riveting, emotionally intense and uplifting all at the same time. A not-to-be-missed film!
A fabulous French film, my classes always love it! A tour de force for the title character, a four-year-old who gives an incredible performance. Very meaningful, heart-wringing, and existentialist. A MUST for any French teacher to own!
