A father tries to shield his son from the darker side of life. in particular that there is a strong possibility that they may have to move from their home because of an expanding nearby mine.
This is a beautiful little film. I'm kind of at a loss as to why this film hasn't gotten more notice because it is a film that tells a compelling story and has a presentation that is tactile. You watch the film, and you come away feeling as if you were in this place at this time. I suspect that the reason people aren't talking about it is that it is low key. This is not a film that screams and yells about itself., this is a film that grabs you and pulls you into its embrace. It's a film that so forces you to deal with its wonders that you kind of forget to talk about it. That really isn't a knock, it's more a statement of the films power and hold on you - you don't want to talk about the film until you figure it all out.
I really like this film, to the point I'm still pondering it and it's magic. I mean I love how it forces us to see cinematric tropes from a different perspective. For example we have a character who is living through the imaginary world of his son, a world we never see. Director David Jovanovic is a director we need to watch.
If you want to see a lyric poem of a film see SUN NEVER AGAIN.
