After his parents are killed in their village, a small boy flees, joining the flood of refugees.

Intringuing and enjoyable. - The Search review by CSF
Because of the topic of the film, it ought to be more emotional than that. However, I did enjoy it. Didn't expect to see Annette Benning there. Again, I think the talent of these actors has not been exploited enough. At least the ending is not absurd or stupid like in most French films where the film just stop. I mean, it has an ending.
