But summer movies are parables, fairy tales that, for a couple of hours, let us dream while we're awake.

He notes that the 5-year-old boy, Felix, in particular, "is getting more and more lively. He's fascinated by contact. He's fascinated by jokes and humor." According to one newspaper report, when Felix first saw the sun in April he cooed with joy. After years of unimaginable bleakness, it is finally time to step into the light.
