Amazing Acting and Story

Story: 5 | Acting: 5 | Visual: 5 | Music: 5 | Overall: 5

The story somehow reflecting the problem of the real world. Heart wrenching story of a young boy leave home and the journey who he meet, what happened. Impressive acting and surpringly good.

Artfully tackling real world issues

Story: 5 | Acting: 5 | Visual: 5 | Music: 5 | Overall: 5

Captured and encapsulated a range of real-life issues. From reflections of an unhealthy family that many people anywhere in the world may be able to relate to, and then to showing us something completely unfamiliar and unknown — a glimpse of what is presently happening in the real world, with displaced refugees, human trafficking and poverty. Even with such heavy and intense topics, the movie balances it well and weaves it all together seamlessly.

Heart wrenching

No one can expects an amazing acting coming from a child and a toddler of such ages! When the sadness of watching becomes too much, the despair relents only to draw you in for a deeper, darker ride.
