Our take
Blending traces of neorealism with his particular brand of whimsy, Werner Herzog crafts a bittersweet childhood story in this early short. Despite the dark themes at its core, Herzog finds humor in this tale of rejection and acceptance, as he captures the state between loneliness and new friendship.
