Reviews

“The cleverly thought-out film draws a large part of its dense atmosphere from this clash of optimism and resignation. A stylistically calm and authentic character study, created as a mixture of different genres, which makes a differentiated contribution to the topic of "being foreign" beyond the actual subject. Not a big cinematic hit, but, despite the flaws in the image design, a largely successful, believable film. "
