Movies narrated by children have always been a sure success with me, starting from the 'To Kill A Mocking Bird' to this latest one from Argentina. Valentin is the story of a 8-9 year old boy, named Valentin growing up in a city in Argentina somtime during the early sixties with his grandmother. His parents are separated, he tries to find parent-figures in every adult he meets and in turn he touches their lives in his own special way.

It is said to be semi-autobiographical film by writer-director Alejandro Agresti, who also plays the role of Valentin's unreliable father in the movie. It is a beautiful story of childhood, written in a heart tugging way that only a child's innocence can achieve. Rodrigo Noya who plays Valentin in the movie is an absolute darling and carries the whole film on his small shoulders, successfully.
