This isn’t a film that makes you cry, it leaves you desolate. It's a film that breaks your heart for so many children who have faced things you can’t even imagine in your worst nightmares. Nadine Labaki, the brilliant Lebanese actress and director, takes you into the mind and life of that child who stands by your window on traffic signals to show what it feels to be invisible.
