A FEATURE FILM BY THE SWEDISH DIRECTOR
SOLVEIG NORDLUND
It was beautifully made, extremely funny and very moving."
The Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival
"Charming low-budgeter about a day in the life of street urchins on the tourist island Madeira is an appealing combo of indignation and humor. Carefully handled.."
Variety
A Style similar to Tati.
Expresso-Lissabon
The film is touching without becoming sentimental, thanks to its humour and rhythm.
Libération - Paris
The film depicts life on the street without indignation, but it reveals very well both sadness and happiness in this silent drama. The children are great actors and they over shadow the professional actors, who have the ungrateful task of portraying silly tourists.
Bernt Eklund, Expressen
