Arbeláez indulges in occasional twinges of Hollywood "emphasis," but mostly the film glides on its matter-of-fact textures.

Mr. Arbeláez cites Iranian film as an influence, and it's evident in his movie's subdued lyricism and its focus on the boys, whose games and projects - they keep trying to rescue the ball - are treated with a sweetness that steers clear (mostly) of sentimentality.

I thought this was a lovely film about childhood innocence in a war (is brewing type) setting. I liked the characters and the sub-plot. It was interesting to see an albino character and how the other young kids react and interact with him. I enjoyed this film overall and I would recommend it, yes.
