Nobody Knows

This movie was absolutely fantastic. It felt so real through the entire film, as if you were watching a documentary. The children in the film provide the viewer with outstanding performances that are realistic and gutwrenching. This is a heartbreaking film, which caused tears for this viewer. The fact that this is based on a true story, makes it even more powerful.

Pragmatic, determined and wise beyond his years, Akira manages the household as best he can -- but eventually the money runs out, and the children must find new ways to survive. Based on a true story.
