When I was young and ignorant, when I saw disabled beggars on the street, I looked up and asked Ma Ma, if I became like this, would you still want me? Ma Ma said, "Fool, why would I not want you?" I want to say, I love Ma Ma, and thank her for her persistence to over-aged children like me who are weird, stubborn, lazy and self-righteous.


Not only children, each of us desires to be loved. This is a sad but very warm and healing little story. The friendship of a group of simple children, if you lack love, give you love, whether it is the simple friendship between the children or their missing family affection, but this movie is fortunately clicked. The healing so far does not make you feel that the love of the Virgin is overflowing.


Although the orphanage may not be so good, the warm and caring days of the children together made them feel a little happy. Every child here has hidden scars.

Simple and beautiful, they are willing to forgive the ugliness in their lives, and use their weak power to purify this filthy world.


No matter how bad the status quo, you are growing! The words of the police squash not only made the zucchini stand up, but also gave me a lot of insights.

Even if we lose our relatives, even if we are hurt, you see, we are still growing up after the wind and rain! Growing up day by day, life is not stopped because of the bad status quo. From small saplings to towering trees, it can protect others from wind and rain.


It is really funny to see some problems from the children's perspective in the movie. Who says they are out of thinking, but adults dismiss it, but in their little heads, there are really a lot of truths. Sometimes tears can also be a cry of joy, rather than a feeling of sadness. I always feel that the tears are just expelling excess salt from the body, so that I can be sweeter.
My little friends and I are each other's small lights, trying our best to emit a faint light, shining on you, and warming myself.

    Complete/incomplete children. French animation has never regarded children as mentally retarded, death, love, or even sex, all in this stop-motion animation to convey a correct and true worldview to the child audience. This alone is worth watching.
