A charming, delicate tale about the various ways people deal with loss, The Education of Fairies begins as Nicolás (a wonderful performance by Argentine actor Ricardo Darín) meets Ingrid (French actress Irène Jacob) and her young son Raúl (Víctor Valdivia) on an airplane heading to Barcelona. Ingrid is clearly the woman he has been waiting for all his life, and Raúl is the son he’s never had. In no time, they are married and living in a beautiful house. Nicolas forms a very tight bond with Raúl, spending long hours telling him about the world and the special race of fairies whose job it is to protect it and make things right. Then, when things surprisingly change in their lives, Raúl expects those very fairies to make their appearance. Darín and Jacob (The Double Life of Veronique) work beautifully together, but the revelation here is child actor Valdivia, who manages to make Darín’s transitions between his fantasy world and the world in which he and his parents live both convincing and poignant.
