Contents/Summary
- Summary
- An acclaimed feature debut. A spirited ten-year-old girl runs away from her proudly affluent parents and finds grudging refuge with the slightly slovenly caretaker of a closed down former collective farm. She prefers solitude and peace among fields and grasses to her nouveau riche family home, and the company of ‘losers’ like this ex-teacher. He ‘has no car, no money, no woman and does nothing useful’ but he has the peace of soul and internal freedom that the girl’s busy parents lack. They come searching for her and try to convince the ex-teacher, using various means, to turn the girl in. He makes them realize that she does not need a new doll, or a computer, but rather love and attention, and that taking her back by force will not solve anything. It’s enough to sit down, calm down and “squint your eyes” to see this.
