Poignant and well-acted. Very touching. Also very well scripted. Our hearts go out to young Bartek, who is shown to be a "real boy", not some angelic figure. We see him smoking, making fun of his coach, etc. Hard to imagine the adults can be so cold and insensitive, a point the film brings out well.
