Director Marijana Janković tells the story, only slighty altered of her family's move from Yugoslavia to Denmark in an effort to find a better life.
This is a solid little film that feels lived in. Even before reading that this was based on the director's own story, I could sense that there was a connection to life that you don't normally get. The clues are in the fact that the film doesn't gloss over all the little things that almost every movie about migration does, things like language, the culture class and the isolation. Every other film, regardless of the origin breezes over the small details. Here that isn't the case. You can see small details as well as big ones that draw us in and make us know this is real.
I was moved.
This is a wonderful film about the real cost of migrating
