The tragedy of the strawberry kids
25 May 2011 - 2 out of 7 users found this review helpful.
Over the last two decades, several million Romanians left to work in Western Europe, mainly in agriculture, construction and services in Italy and Spain. They are often called "capsunari" (capsuna=strawberry), a reference to picking strawberries. Hundreds of thousands of kids were left behind and grew up without their parents as a result. As we see in the movie, growing up without parents unfortunately leads to social maladaptation, and particularly to difficulty controlling impulses. This generation of kids, whose motto might be "If I want to whistle, I whistle" or "I do whatever the hell I want to do", will haunt Romania for decades.
