The film is about a curious boy named Sava who moved from Ukraine to Brazil due to the war in his country. Sava lives together with his mother and sister and, despite what he has been through and the effects of moving away from his home, he demonstrates strength and courage. He goes on an adventure full of fun in Brazil. He loves to play with paper airplanes and likes heights and continues to pursue his passion and love for flying.
I like the film's plot and I like seeing how Sava's determination to pursue adventures and his passions and dreams continue to be present in his life. The film is well made with good, clear camera work and audio recording. The scenes in Brazil's jungles are really fascinating. I love the waterfalls! They are extraordinary. I love seeing him ride in the hot air balloon and I love hearing his laughter. My favorite part of the film is seeing Sava having fun as a little boy in Brazil. We are also reminded of his and his family's situation when his sister says that her dream is to return to Ukraine. The song they all sing at the end, presumably in Ukrainian, is a reminder of their love for their country.
The film's message is to always pursue your passions and dreams despite the challenges and obstacles that life brings.
I give The Journey of Sava 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12, plus adults. By Hafsa H., KIDS FIRST!
