Reviews
“Overall, it is a very exciting and interesting compilation, even if the individual results are artistically and thematically different. A good third of the films deal with immigrants, i.e. those who are not even allowed into the new Europe, and are accordingly serious, hard-working and not very original. The two most convincing contributions are the only two comedies: 'The Miracle' and 'Unisono'. "
Others
The short film collection was also released on DVD.
