This great debut feature from Rsumovic is a carefully crafted film with an award worthy performance from the young Denis Muric. I have to admit, the story's premise about the wild boy founded in Bosnia's mountain didn't look very appealing to me in the beginning but the rate of growth this film achieved throughout its time period, it made me quickly change my mind.
What starts as an integration of a wildling into society turns out in a tale about the corrupt human nature. Even though the film's timeline is set on the brink of a war decade for Balkans, the war element is not used for exploitation and emotive manipulation but rather as an extra tool to illustrate a central issue of the human civilization.
