In the Summer of 1981, a young
girl of 9 1/2 is left in the care of her aunt in Sweden while her parents
and brother go to Africa. The family is going as aid workers to help
the people have water.
She was supposed to go with them but on the day before they were to leave, her
parents were told that she
was too young to make the trip. Her aunt meets up with a man and tells
her she will return in just a few days. Neither of them want anyone to
know that she is living alone.In the beginning of this film, you wonder how you are going to watch 95 minutes of this but the girl starts to become important to you and you want to follow along on her journey. There isn't any way to tell how long she is on her own without her aunt. 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
95 min, Drama directed by Fredrik Edfeldt with Blanca Engstrom, Shanti Toney, Annika Hallin, Calle Lindqvist, Tova Magnusson-Norling, Leif Andree, Maria Langhammer.
Note: Blockbuster 4*, imdb 6.7 out of 10, 90% critic 69% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
