A 14-year-old Ethiopian refugee finds shelter in a Swiss hospice.

Wendy Ide

Screen International

This handsome, measured second feature from Germinal Roaux combines a portrait of a desperate migrant child with an interrogation of the crises of faith which result when devout Christians are asked to put the basic tenets of their religion into practice.

High on Films

Fortuna is a demanding little film that doesn't really reveal itself tenfolds until the slow-burn becomes absolutely irrelevant.

Rated: 2.5/5
