Hungarian movie set in the last days of World War II when the Nazis were finally getting around to deporting Hungarian Jews to the concentration camps. It deals with a childless Jewish couple who adopt a Gentile orphan boy in order to pass on to him their values and traditions. A recalcitrant and feisty little critter at first, the boy learns to love his adoptive parents and learn from them as he begins to sense the ominous turbulence of life about him. The inevitable and utterly heart-rending separation of the affectionate boy from his loving adoptive parents concludes this humane recollection by director Imre Gyongyassy, who as a child had himself been adopted by a Jewish couple under similar circumstances.
