Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for anyone interested in what war does to people and anyone who likes learning something new. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Moves through the story clearly, at 26 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Children learn what they see and feel what their elders teach them to feel. If they live surrounded by hate and thirst for revenge, they will learn to hate and take revenge. The documentary collects the stories of these children told by themselves; of the children who live today in the war and of those who, already old, reflect on the childhood they lived in another distant war.
