in a hopeless town

Rating: 8/10 (22 August 2003)

First I did not expect much from the movie. The introductory part the boy joins the ballet class, I did not feel natural. However, as the story goes, I empathized the father. Father had never been out of the coal-mining town, where they continue hopeless strikes. In the town, only the boy has the future, though he is not aware.
