My Life As A Dog
A completely enchanting and bittersweet film in which a young boy is shipped off to spend the summer with his uncle after his mother falls ill. A touching period piece in its evocation of a Swedish village in the late 1950s it's also a film in which a young and innocent boy (beautifully played by the young Anton Glanzelius) grows up and learns of love and loss.
