Only 11 year-old children play in this movie. Yet, the film is addressed to adults because of the change that is applied on a standard stereotype: instead of showing the relationship of an adult-teacher and a child-student, the movie focuses on how their roles can often be reversed and how a child can be a great teacher to an adult. This is what happens when children remind us the long forgotten values of childhood.
