It is quite impossible to hold your tears while you watch this heartwarming documentary. It takes you back to the time that we all have lost, the once true gift of life called the "childhood", where we played kings and queens, laughed in the rain and quarreled with our elders.
But the documentary explores a harder reality of orphan children of Cambodia, their harsh beginnings, lost of their simple colorful existences in a little country with big problems. The filmmaker brilliantly succeeds in preserving the innocence of children by integrating a mythic tale wonderfully acted by the little gems, thus making it a documentary for all ages. It is a risk well taken. It is all about determination, hard work, larger than life dreams and overcoming hardships, and it'll inspire you with each shot.
