Gut wrenching story & good acting from the whole cast
Nothing over the top, no hysteria very much as you'd expect people to respond.

A lot is said with very little words if any, you really get the feeling of going through the ordeal yourself.

If you've ever been hit with some bad news, I reckon this seems quite familiar.

Except for maybe the dad, he seems quite unable to express his grief, which is probably due to his upbringing.

It seems off though as it should.

At one point the older brother nearly breaks down, but he manages to barely hold it together and walks out.

You don't really get to know the kid in this episode (haven't seen the rest yet) but he seems like pretty much every boy his age.

Just an innocent kid who loves soccer with a loving family on an ordinary day, until it isn't.

Tragic.

Ruined

Totally ruined by the use of hand held cameras and artificial camera shake.

Watching the first episode all I could think about was how the director was telling the camera operators to "make it look real" by the use of camera shake. All it does to me is distract from the story being told.
