Query: Sad, shocking, and well worth watching

This movie was sad, shocking, and well-done. It is not easy to watch and I was frequently overwhelmed by the terrible story that it told. These poor orphans and their horrible lives in hell, because, yes, hell is in the Russia of today, just tear at your heart.Yet the movie does not exploit the horror with any falsity...everything rings so true and genuine. The cinematography is so real..one actually feels the filth and the neglect to which these children are subjected.Vanya never thinks his mother is really gone.....he is sure that somewhere she is waiting for him. And he is determined to find her, despite the obstacles he must overcome....not the least of which is getting out of the orphanage.
