The filmmaker follows Leila and Sahand as they escape from Tehran with their illegitimate son and travel to Turkey for refuge.

Chris Waywell

Time Out

Its great achievement is to present the faceless and grotesque within a domestic context, never allowing the simple pleasures of life to escape the shadow of statelessness and fear.

Rated: 5/5

Orca Sound

Director Eva Mulvad follows the family everywhere and over the course of years. Her camera captures all from video chats with friends at home to Mani having a meltdown.

Edward Porter

Sunday Times (UK)

The family's new life in Turkey is quite comfortable in some ways, but every new bureaucratic tussle over their immigration status causes anxiety - and the more we get to know the three of them, the more we care about their fate.

Rated: 4/5

Scotsman

[A] thoroughly engrossing portrait of resilience and hope as personal issues, local complications and global political shifts repeatedly challenge their simple desire to have what so many others take for granted.

Rated: 4/4
