The Charmer (2017)
9/10
A love story, and what you will and won't sacrifice for what you think will be a better life
26 August 2018
Initially starting with Iranian Ezmail, and his quest to find a key to staying in Denmark (or rather a girl who will sign that they are partners), he then meets a daughter of Iranian immigrants, and things become more complicated. At the same time he also starts to encounter the repercussions of his searching for fake love, and of hiding/ignoring his past.

I watched this movie during the Sakhalin film festival, and got to meet Soho Rezanejad afterwards, who game some insight as to her character, and how she can related strongly. And she highlighted that this is not just a story of an immigrant coming to Denmark, and trying to find a way to stay, but also the children of immigrants, and how they search for belonging.

I definitely recommend giving this a watch.
