Although not a happy-go-lucky story, the film was very well made. That is most impressive considering the writer/director is just 25. The film won many awards, including one at Cannes.

Set in 2015 (the near future), a newly-elected government has made it an option, without any legal recourse, to place unruly children in the care of the state. One single mother is doing the very best she can to raise her disturbed son, and this is their story. I thought the friendship with an equally troubled neighbour was very well done.
