This is out of Germany. The story is about a boy who lives in a rough border town. His mother is a drunk and often gone for a long time. His older brother is just in it for himself and is also often not around. The boy ends up doing various things to make sure his little sister is taken care of properly. A new teacher comes to his school and tries to improve the boy’s life and give him special attention. Well, this boy takes it the wrong way, and it leads to emotional conflict between them. We end up with the boy maturing well before his time and taking the lead in the family.

This is the story of a boy who is in a rich family. The family is very pretentious and selfish. The boy, on the other hand, is very kind, and in touch with his emotions. He is tutored by a young man who the parents pay to teach him. The two became very close and in the light of a modern eye this seems inappropriate. The parents are upset by the relationship and want to terminate the tutor. This movie is more about the two growing in each other’s company and friendship. The tutor in the end comes away with more than the boy in my mind. He learns that sacrifice is sometimes the best part of caring for someone. The tutor is in fact more than just a friend to the boy, there is a family like bond between them. The boy takes a big step toward manhood and thee tutor has his life changed for the better.

This is a touching film out of Portugal. It starts with the main character, a young boy, pondering the absence of his father. The father is rarely there for him. One day, his father comes to him and says they are going on vacation – just the two of them. When they reach an island where they are on vacation, the father admits he wants to know the boy better and that it was wrong not to have been there more. He also admits he’s going to die and there is not much time left for him. The boy also meets an older boy who teaches him about many things. This is a true coming of age movie.

Think about a place you're grateful for. I'm going to say the park that is a block away from me. Health has kept me from it as of late, but I have spent many an hour in that park just walking the trails, or watching the wildlife. I very much enjoy being there. When I was a kid, I would go swimming in a pool that is inside the grounds of the park. After I would often walk a bit in the park, or play on the swings in the playground there. I remember being impressed with the swans. Swans can be rather aggressive however, and they eventually had to do something about the one. There is a serpentine in the middle of the park. The water is not always that nice, in fact it can be very disgusting in mid summer. But the birds still like it, and often nest on the little islands in it. The library and art museum that are also in the park have given me a lot of joy over the years. I do hope I can get to the park in the near future. My knees are really bad as of late, but I would love to go s...

OK, lets get this straight. The blog already has the warning page on it. You literally had to click the button agreeing to enter. Then you get offended when there is nudity on a nudist blog? Well that's the emotional maturity level of a 4 year old. So what happens when it's flagged? It goes behind a warning page. Hmmm... It already has one of those. So in essence, you did literally nothing at all. Keep reading, there is the content policy below telling nudity is allowed LOL. Here is my settings for that blog (link in the link tree BTW). Mentions nudity in the title and description. Marked as "Adult Content". Warning page is turned on. Looks like I followed all the rules. There it is. The content policy page screen cap LOL. Nudity is allowed. I followed all the rules. But this doesn't stop a person who is literally looking for a reason to be offended.

What is a happy memory you're grateful for? I was on summer holiday with my family. I think I was about 10 or 11 at the time. We rented a cabin in Banff national park. There was this stand outside the window. You could buy feed to put in it, and the deer would come up and eat it right in front of the window. To a child this is magical. It's a very happy memory and only I hope to never forget.
