    the star
    All is seductive in this film. the story, the music, the actors. and the idea. a hopefull story . in strange manner . about a boy, his father, a star and an absence. and about inventivity, courage and innocence. all so simple. and convincing. because, in part, it could be a story about ourselves. in the skin of the most beotiful age.
