...nice guy. But a certain level of indifference disqualifies you. Take one small example: measles. This disease, which was virtually wiped out in the U.S. in the early 1980s, is killing children again, in part because the Government vaccination program has run out of money.

"Make sure her feet don't see more sky than earth," Perhan warns Grandma when he hires himself out to the richest, meanest man in town. Ahmed (Bora Todorovic) is a blustery gangster who will teach Perhan the rules of petty crime but will take a long time to learn how fierce are the strains of loyalty and revenge in his brightest pupil. Ahmed will finally get the point...
