Andy H @andyhh 03/17/2025 A ukrainian family on vacation in the Canary Islands when the war breaks out. They can't get home, and must stay. You can easily figure what the story is next, and yes that is exactly what happens. They call their friends, who are scared, they watch news on the TV, they fight and argue, they cry. They hate seeing other people having vacation and good time. Well acted, with some social commentary where the teenage daughter befriends an african refugee, with the point they are also refugees, european refugees in europe.

Nothing was glossy or smooth, the story was more than just what the family was dealing with, although that in itself was a lot. The relationships within the family, as well as their encounters in the local landscape, were all just so beautifully portrayed, and thus kudos go to the cinematography and the acting. Finding transcendence among tribulation is beauty. See more Bob C @RT61607542 12/13/2024 Lost opportunity to tell an important story but we'd need a) a plot and b) a script. Very disappointing. A final act with the family in Warsaw and dad heading to Kiev would have allowed the audience closure and brought the film's emotional arch to closure. The filmmaker treated their audience badly.
