what was said about the film<\/b><\/p>\n

“The story of the film is an innocent fairy tale compared to reality. \/…\/ It is not a film for those who have experienced misfortune, but for everyone else – the lucky, the privileged – to make them think.”<\/span><\/p>\n

– Leopold Lindtberg<\/span><\/p>\n
