I am a journalist and I first heard about this movie when it had a screening at the Venice Film Festival earlier this year. I found the synopsis intriguing, thinking "Oh, no, another prejudiced film about Romanian homeless children". So I did an interview with one of the Romanian actors, and I felt emotion in his voice as he talked about it.
So now, at the Bucharest DaKino Festival, I finally saw the movie, and I was so very touched. I was very young in 1992, when the action takes place, so I don't remember that much from the post-communist era. I do know that this french/Algerian Miloud, an idealist, really tried to make a difference, and he did! He actually saved children living in the sewers, and for that I thank him
