A Little Blessing In Disguise.Plot:
In a hospital on the outskirts of 1920s Los Angeles, an injured stuntman (Pace) begins to tell a fellow patient, a little girl with a broken arm (Untaru), a fantastical story about 5 mythical heroes. Thanks to his fractured state of mind and her vivid imagination, the line between fiction and reality starts to blur as the tale advances. | add synopsisAwards:

Let's make it as short as IMDb allows it: it's the most visually stunning movie for kids one can find. It surely will go down well with adults. It's like watching Miyazaki's animation - different things for both audiences. The settings & the characters are beyond astonishing. The story itself is quite ordinary fairytale, made more intriguing by adding mixture of reality.
Despite well known Tarsem's abilities to stun aesthetically, here we can credit him for outstanding direction of an adorable girl, who visits wounded soldier in pursuit of mystique tales about five heroes.
Seen it last year at Berlin festival - worth the applause. Good to know it will get wide release finally.
