Trivia
At the age of 11, Lina Braknyte was noticed by the assistant director Arunas Zhebrunas, who offered the girl the main role in this film, based on the story by Yuri Nagibin. During the filming, the young actress was not so embarrassed to have to shoot a scene where she was swimming completely naked, but after the film was released, Lina had a hard time. "I was teased at school. In the first days I had to sit in the toilet at every break. Only after two weeks everything was somehow calmed down," said Braknite.

Couldn't have said it better myself....

I have read many reviews on IMDb and appreciated most of them...(I will not read spoilers), this is not so much as a review as a confirmation of a review.

Mr. przgzr from Zagreb, Croatia ,his review is the most articulate and well thought out review I have read in a very long time. The author of the review captures the essence of the movie without diminishing nor attempting to read into the film more than there is.

I saw parts of this fine film years back. After reading przgzr from Zagreb, Croatia ,s review I found and watched the entire film.

What a rewarding, simple film made in 1964 and has endured the test of time even with a (slightly) familiar theme. 'Familiar' only in the sense that children and nature have a constant common denominator in every corner of the world.

Thank you Mr. przgzr from Zagreb, Croatia I have rediscovered a forgotten and hidden treasure.
