Bottom Line:
Highly Recommend, but very sad.

This movie is very moving & deep. It isn't exactly the kind of movie that you normally would leave skid marks trying to get to, but it is definitely worth seeing.

The story is about a 6-year old girl whose mother dies in a car accident. The little girl was a passenger in the same accident & got a broken arm which serves as a reminder to her. The movie is about how the girl copes with her grief. There were some scenes where I was crying with her because she was so sad & what was happening to her.

The actress was simply amazing at conveying her grief and pain. This is all the more remarkable because this film is in French with English subtitles.

Highly recommend for adults. No nudity or bad language problems but because of subject matter not recommended for children.
