and James McAvoy.<br />

Set in 1930’s, <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>ry unfolded<br />

us in<strong>to</strong> a world where <strong>the</strong> eyes of<br />

a child and imagination could take<br />

us somewhere far expected. It also<br />

brought us <strong>to</strong> a picture of struggles<br />

during war, a suffering from guilt,<br />

and unfinished love.<br />

“A<strong>to</strong>nement is different from o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
