The purest soul I've ever known

Reviewed by seagull_2006 10 / 10

Literally made me cry

I started watching this documentary with optimism and wonder. What an original , unique boy, with his unusual dreams and identification with Rumania.He reminded me so much of myself as a lonely teenage girl many, many years ago with a head stuffed full of dreams of past times, poetry and loving the mystery of Eastern Europe ( in my case Russia was my fascination).I was totally unprepared for the sudden ending .I wept not just for the loss of this young life but also for his parents who lost a part of themselves. And who were brave enough to let their precious only son to follow his dreams.A beautifully made documentary but one I found extremely painful.
