"Traditional village life in pre-World War II Latvia is lovingly
reconstructed in this amiable children's drama. In the story, Bonifacijs
is a cute boy who spends most of his time pretending to be a knight or
any one of a number of other local legendary heroes from medieval times,
scampering around his village to enact one or another of his fantasies
under the amused and watchful eye of the other villagers. He is the
particular pet of a lovely young woman named Brigita, who jokingly calls
him "my little fiancee." She is unaware that he is so earnest and
ingenuous that he thinks she is serious when she says that. When it
becomes clear that she is to marry another, he discovers that he has
some growing up to do, but by the time of the wedding itself, the
big-hearted lad is sincerely praying for her happiness." Now I tried to watch this since it was kinda set in WWII and I just couldn't get through it. I just wanted to let you folks know it there so, there.
Couldn't finish it so...
