Actually filmed nearly 10 years ago, and dubbed for English audiences, this charming Swedish tale has some wonderful moments and will hopefully appeal to young American viewers. A young girl and her adopted "grandmother" share a home and a candy-making business. When an accident threatens their livelihood, the girl shows a strength of spirit beyond her years. Children not used to seeing foreign films may find the dubbing a distraction, but the story is a gem and a real treat for the "After School Special" crowd. Recommended. (N. Plympton)
