This engaging import tells the story of nine-year-old Aron
who finds himself abandoned at a bleak orphanage by his recently divorced
and despondent father. His new home is a cruel place, where he suffers at
the hands of the staff and the other boys, but he finds some solace in the
kindness of one of the teachers as well as a special relationship with his
young classmate Attila. And newfound sexual awakening gives him the courage
to lead his peers in revolt. Despite its melancholy subject matter 98 min.
