Perduto

There's something quite poignant when conveying the consequences of war from a child's perspective. Nico's isolation following the sudden internment of his Italian father, is so charmingly portrayed in the young actor's sincere portrayal. Just ten years old, this child is living an unimaginable agony, all of which is the reality of so many children during war.

Furthermore, the art direction beautifully illustrates young Nico's emotional disposition with ethereal forestry and seascape compositions during his solo expedition to deliver a potentially-final message to his absent brother and papa.

A truly heartening story which touched us deeply.
