They write apologies on the walls in case the previous occupants ever return.[12] Steve Dollar, who saw the documentary at Camden, commented in Filmmaker that "the story is as quietly heartbreaking as it is hopeful in the childrens' [sic] zest not only to abide but to transform the damaged world around them".[13] The film was selected for the national competition at Cinema Verite,[14] and was shown at the Olympia film festival in Greece.[15]
