While I liked some moving and sweet moments, being a father myself, I didn't like too much this movie for a few reasons.
The first it's that the "bad" father looks like a little plausible one, brought to force the film to be a moving one and to accentuate the conflict.
The second, even more important, is that the reason of the main issue, as is as it was shown, looks very improbable.
Anyway, there is not need of a great culture or intelligence to understand that the sons are own by whoever grown them. The blood issue is secondary in such cases. Sure the movie lets you think for a moment about natural son versus adopted one, but the choice, in this particular case, however hard, it is naturally obligated. Both the sons were not babies anymore. Too late.
The easiest solution should be, of course and obviously, the one it was going to be at the end of the movie. An hard but simple solution that every movie character understood from the start, but, casually, not the "bad" father.
The film is somehow sweet, thanks to the children, and it shows a rare dilemma that could be hard to digest, but that's it all. There is not much more in here, apart how important is for a son to be supported and spend time with his father, whoever he is. Who didn't know this yet?
7/10
