This movie is about races, relationships and societies. According to the research, the director staged the story from his own childhood experience, only scenes are reconstructed to make them more dramatic. Therefore, we all can feel the connection between ourselves and the charactors.
There is a strong friendship between Brahim and his troublesome best friend though they might not even realized. they have different nationalities, live in different standards. something they share is that they are both immagrants.
While the kids are living a happy childhood, the adults start a strike at the factory. this part of the movie is ironic. People have more and more things to take care of. Need to think in more and more different aspects. But as for a child, brahim can think straight, he can honestly shows his feelings. Brahim agrees with the strike and he express his opinion without hesitating. In contrast, his father ban him for doing it again. As aging, the way we see things and think changes.
Another thing that impressed us is how the little boys deal with seperation. they wish each other good lucks, changing promise and shake hands. Saying goodbye is still one thing we hate the most. it usually comes with tears. But in the movie, they are optimistic. Maybe it's because they don't really understand it or they know it too well, they are used to being devided. We cant be sure. After all, they are amazingly strong.
At the end, besides some comfusing scenes. There is one thing that touches us, Brahim promises to send his about-to-move best friend pictures they took in the city hall and the beautiful house. However what he really wants is the one they took in the factory at night while there is no negatives inside the camera. The most beautiful memory is always the one cant be seen. it's always deep down in the heart.
