A very human film.
The film is disturbing but not like come and see and schindlers list where we see the dread of everything and everyone.
It does show horrible things happening to people, the mother of our main character gets raped.
I can't put it into words because its kinda complicated to put this film in one box.
I mean its tragic but it kinda is also more then that.
Its great tho‼️
