Review of The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (2006) by Brenno E — 04 Jul 2009

Nice story... the atmosphere of the movie is very particular... Mauro has been left alone by his parents in the jewish community of his grandfather who died just before the soccer world cup 1970... so while he's waiting on his parents, he's taken care of by the whole community despite the fact that he's goy!.

. this movie depicts several aspects of Brazil seen through the eyes of Mauro: the soccer country, the jewish community, the political situation at that time and of course the blossom of pre-teen sexuality.

.. sweet characters... Ana, is fierce, man! she's leading this group of boys... take a look at it, u wont be disappointed... I loved it...
