CGiii Comment

Prepare yourself...for a very strange tale indeed...

A child has a crush on a teacher and prefers to live alternatively...

Statutory child abuse - instigated by the child - that old pederasty rearing its ugly head...it will certainly make a few people uncomfortable - GOOD, because it exists.

This is a very brave film - dealing with what would be deemed objectionable...but, handled with care and skill...making it rather delightful in a very off-beat way.
