Alleenstaande moeder Lára (Kristín Thóra Haraldsdóttir) worstelt om het leven met haar zoontje op de rit te houden en start vol goede moed een opleiding tot douane. De Afrikaanse vluchtelinge Adja (Babetida Sadjo) probeert met haar dochter illegaal Canada te bereiken. Als hun levens kruisen bij de paspoortcontrole realiseert geen van beiden zich hoe ze elkaars toekomst zullen beïnvloeden. Een krachtig sociaalkritisch drama over het leven in de marge tegen de achtergrond van het grimmige IJsland. (Noordelijk Film Festival)

Given how “trivial” the things dealt with in the film are, it is immensely engaging, thanks to focused
direction that leads the actors in the right way, with detailed narration of feelings and moods
through their facial expressions.

Netflix has now taken over the Icelanders as well, and in cooperation they filmed an interesting, although a bit depressing drama about the crossing of two not-so-ideal destinies, who briefly share something and then separate again. While the main characters could exchange a little bit more than just those few strictly necessary sentences, the authors have created a believable situation, which could easily happen in real life. I have also enjoyed the beautiful shots of Iceland, which never lose their appeal.

Stupid social porn (poor single mother, government, refugees, drugs, homosexuality) that picks up screenwriting crutches like Pokémon. Babetida Sajdo is reduced to being a mere vehicle for anguished expressions, people randomly meet each other as if the whole of Iceland were fifty meters wide, and there's always a blonde dude wandering around dishing out apt ad-libs on cue. "And who decided that cats should live in cages?" Good God!
