**English** A bit of a musical, more than it needed to be, the mother's plot (which could have been developed more, in a xenophobic and extremely racist time, having relationships with black men was almost considered a crime) was insignificant compared to the drama of little George with the other children who cross his path... There is a touch of poetry, in the melancholy, of the beautiful images of bombs falling, of trains cutting through the city... A beautiful film, which could have been better explored, just cute and sad... **Portuguese** Um tanto quanto musical, mais do que precisava, a trama da mãe (que podiam ter desenvolvido mais, numa época xenofóbica e extremamente racista, se relacionar com homens negros era tratado quase que como crime) ficou ínfima diante do drama do pequeno George com as outras crianças que cruzam pelo seu caminho… Tem um quê de poesia, na melancolia, das belas imagens das bombas caindo, dos trens cortando a cidade… Um filme lindo, que poderia ser melhor explorado, apenas bonitinho e triste...
