Luke S @RT54699090 Apr 16 A beautiful look at immigration - what it feels like to leave your home, due to war in this instance, and start a life fresh in a new country. It offers a touching perspective on what it means to be dislodged into the world - not considered a local from where you came from and not where you are. Through Lidija, her parents and brother and her son, you get to see how we try to make sense of the forces of politics and culture around us - trying to find your place, trying to be happy without being ignorant (or trying to not be happy for some :D). This film is a great way to spend an evening - experiencing the journeys of a person and reflecting on what identity, community, culture and politics mean.

It is ironic to see IDFA officials speak about the rise of political correctness, only to include this movie in the program. Movie is weak, hermetic and keeps running in circles. If it wasnt about Netherlands and from dutch producer (yes, the same one boasting her Yugo heritage), it wouldnt be screened at all. It simply does not have strong value. Would it be more sincere that the author offered to speak from the perspective of mental illness (obsessive compulsive behaviours)? I don't know. What I know is thruth is truth. It is always stronger than posing. See more Read all reviews
