REVIEWS:

Ville is still quite young, practically a child, but he is such a wonderful and brave character. It was deeply moving to see how he navigated such serious, grown-up issues.

I absolutely loved the grandmother sisters, Berit! Their dynamic was hilarious. Watching them bicker constantly at first and then finally make peace was one of the sweetest highlights of the film for me.

Smith Emily

Such an uplifting and inspiring story! It leaves you with a warm feeling in your heart and a renewed belief that courage and family love will always prevail.

Viktorija Berg

Actually beautifully shot and well-acted, but the plot is entirely predictable from the very first minute. There are no real surprises, though I suppose that's exactly what you expect from a fairy tale format.
