Most

David ordered a short film called 'Most' (pronounced with a short o - means bridge in Czech)

after seeing the film in CZ. We watched it together tonight. It is a beautiful film, made from the illustration of a loving father who looses his only son on a drawbridge in order to save the passengers in an oncoming train. It speaks of the sacrifice God made for us. What struck me the most is the fact that the passengers on the train were oblivious (apart from one) to the sacrifice the father had made. His precious, sweet, loving little boy had been crushed so that they could live. It was his only option if he was to save the people aboard the train. They remained unaware, sitting on the train - engaged in the pleasures of their own lives... The film really presented so many different facets of the ultimate sacrifice. I thought it was really well done...

Here is one comment on the back cover:
