This movie has a great storyline that looks at really big questions through the eyes of a 9-year old girl, who is used to upper-class French lifestyle. It takes you through the points of view of those who label themselves as communists and liberals in the French society. The questions such as what is solidarity, what is the women's lib, the place of politics of Spain and Chile in Franc are asked in the 1970's perspective. Great performances, even by the the kids; I should say, specially by the kids. My Rating: 7.5
