Sinekatalog’s take
A ten-year-old who just moved from Berlin to Budapest watches daily school life with bewilderment while a young teacher begins her career. The film is observant and warm, capturing classroom life with unforced detail. A thoughtful school drama for fans of gentle realism.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
