Children of the Sun

"A touching story of family and social relations, permeated with love, hopelessness, but also with a belief in miracles, set in contemporary Macedonia". The production value and the technical characteristics of the film are at a very high level, the photography is really good, the music is exquisite and the set on the lake is excellent. All actors are assertive and, in principle, flawless. Vlado, Meto and Emir can always build a role out of nothing and function in the same manner here. The younger actors, Kire and Ivana, got a difficult task since their characters are uncompleted sketches and they were supposed to be the ones that carry the emotional weight of the film. They managed this challenge well, even more experienced actors would have had difficulties pulling this out.
