Sometimes we get short or big vacations, and during those times we think and do different things to spend it happily. But young children also have such vacations in their educational life, during which they spend a unique and enjoyable time with their parents. But we can never imagine how happy and painful such a visit is in the life of an orphan child. Today I will present you a summer vacation through which we will see some wonderful moments of an orphaned child's summer vacation, which I hope you will also like.

Movie Review:

The kind of life story that can be seen in the movie can be seen happening in many people's lives. But I am presenting the movie in short and hope you will want to watch the movie and like it. In the movie, the two little friends return home from school and ask Masao how they will spend their summer vacation. And that's when Masao finds out that her friend will be visiting her village home with her mother and father for summer vacation. And Masao feels sad because his father and mother are not there and returns home and asks his grandmother about his parents. Grandma tells Masao that his father died in an accident and his mother is away working to keep Masao well. But Masao later finds mother's photo and her address and immediately packs up and leaves on foot for mother's address. But her grandmother's girlfriend sees her and talks to her to find out everything and tells her irresponsible gambler husband to take Masao to her mother's address. Kikujiro then goes gambling with Masao and spends a few days like that, Kikujiro apologizes to Masao and promises to take him to his mother. And so they go looking for an elevator and meet a writer who takes Masao and Kikujiro to his mother's address. But Masao, seeing the happiness of his mother's new life, realizes why his mother has kept him away and goes back with a heavy heart. Then it can be seen that even the man without responsibility does anything to bring a smile on the face of the sad child and finally Masao learned to forget his hardships and put a smile on his face. But by that time little Masao had learned to see and understand extreme reality at this early age. As a result, Masao returned home after a memorable summer vacation with a smile on his face.

Comment:

At an age when children go with mom and dad to enjoy and travel on summer vacations, Masao also steps out of the house alone to see her mother for the first time in her life. Also spends a wonderful summer vacation to remember in life while looking for mom. I really like the movie, little Masao's acting is commendable. Hope you like the movie too.

Thank You .
