Wonderful film. An itinerant circus family find a toddler abandoned in a winter playground, take her in in spite of their fears of official consequences if they are found out, come to love her and dread the time when her mother returns to take her back.
An astonishing performance by this 2 year old. How in the world did they get this child to do this stuff? She seemed completely in sync with the story line.
I also liked the focus on the lower reaches of Italian society and how their warmth and solidarity gets them through. But this film is primarily a human drama and it succeeds superbly.
