Movie description:
Mondo is a young homeless boy, with a big smile, who wanders around Nice looking for food and a place to sleep. The people he meets, will forever have their hearts changed, and will always remember this quiet child, who said so much, without speaking.
A fable unfolds. One summer day, a boy of about ten appears on the streets of Nice – no family, no possessions, no schooling, but with a brilliant smile. Mondo’s most at home in gardens, fields, and at the seashore. The bustle of the city can seem to overwhelm him. He has good survival instincts, running from police and from threatening adults, and he is looking for a family. Over time, people come to know him – he helps out a street magician, befriends an old man who keeps doves in his suitcase, and finds a mother, herself an outsider. That smile is always at hand. Yet, no vagabond child sits well with the authorities. Can Nice keep this treasure of the spirit?
A black-eyed boy radiating calm charm, Balan was 11 when the film was shot. He is a Romanian Gypsy taken under the director’s wing (with French government’s help). Such militantism, however, could not keep Ovidiu Balan and his family in France. Instead, they were forced to return to Romania at the finish of the filming.

Auf Youtube gibt es den kompletten Film in Originalsprache: „Mondo – Part 1 of 8“

Der vorherige Kommentar stimmt leider nicht mehr – einer von den acht Teilen ist nicht mehr online. Ratet mal, welcher das ist!!! (Kleiner Tipp: Man beachte Bild 3!)

Franz-Josef hat recht. Es ist der vierte Teil, der bei Youtube nicht mehr online ist. Nun kann es natürlich sein, daß der User dies selbst aus eigenen Stücken heraus getan hat. Aber wahrscheinlich mußte er dies auf Anweisung von Youtube tun. Von Meinungs- und künstlerischer Freiheit ist es dort nicht weit her. Aus nichtigen Gründen werden dort ganze Kanäle dichtgemacht. Alles was nicht irgendwie konform mit der breiten Masse ist oder als politisch nicht korrekt empfunden wird, wird dort permanent verbannt. Und wenn diese Szene aus dem Film schon ein Anlaß dazu ist ...
