A fairly powerful and gripping refugee drama. The story consists of five intertwined narratives. The execution is quite well done. The film comprises five chapters that unfold almost simultaneously, bringing the main characters together. Each person's experience is different, but the goal—survival—is consistent. The contradictions in achieving these goals are powerfully portrayed and create emotional tension. The film contains several beautiful scenes, with the boat scene at sea being a standout. The acting is generally good. Visually, the film is also a definite success, as everything feels realistic. 4.0
