The illegitimate orphan child, 12-year-old Max, is sold by the local minister for a basket of food to the Bösiger family, who own a mountain farm.

My Father was born in 1928 in Switzerland and emigrated to New Zealand in the 1950s. He died in 1973. He was a foster boy. I still have memories of the very few stories he told us of his childhood. I am pleased my own children can now learn more about their Grandfather and why he loved and embraced the New Zealand culture. - @Tuesday, July 21, 2015 9:10 AM

I saw this film at Giffoni Film Festival and I must say that is out of this world! Great great film! - @Sunday, November 11, 2012 10:16 PM

Saw this today at Berlin & Beyond. Though disturbing nearly throughout and downright tragic in parts it manages somewhat of a happy ending. This was probably one of the better films of this year's festival. Thanks to Berlin and Beyond for bringing this film to America! - @Sunday, September 30, 2012 5:55 AM
