Powerful tearjerker

I last saw this film about 20 years ago when i was about 10 years old. It affected me so much that I remember it to this day. An incredibly powerful film - a real tear jerker. I've been searching for a copy of this film to watch it again, but it seems to be really rare. I can't find one anywhere. If you do get a chance to watch it, do. It is excellent. Also watch a film called 'Last snows Of Spring'. They were released together in the UK and this is also an excellent film. Another tearjerker, but equally powerful. I dare you to watch either without shedding a tear.
