I watched this last night w/ my 16 year old daughter and we both found it utterly stunning. I wanted to recommend it here, I rented it off Netflix and intend to buy my own copy.
The story is set in the 1920's. It involves the relationship that springs up between an injured stunt man and a 5 yr old Romanian girl w/a broken arm convalescing in a California clinic together.
I don't want to reveal too much but the little girl is probably the most natural actor I have ever seen on film.
The stunt man tells her extraordinary tales that are stunningly played out on screen, beautifully conceived and constructed. Thats the jumping off point.
Again I don't want to give away too much but I highly recommend this cinematic masterpiece.
