REVIEWS
Truly riveting. A captivating depiction of two cultures coming together in the most unexpected ways. Not the war story you're expecting.

I loved this film. It brought me to tears to see the beauty of culture dynamics and human connection.

A peak into the other side of the world, in a place most have never seen. A place that at first seems different and strange, until you realize how much we're the same.
