This documentary doesn't take a strong artistic line. It let's the main two protagonists tell their stories by themselves, not with a lot of words, but with a lot of visible struggles.
And for a good reason. They both arrived in Japan at a young age, followed the education system, can speak Japanese and yet are completely unwanted there as Kurdish people never get recognition as refugees.
It's a poignant movie about people who live in Japan and yet don't have any land that they can call home because Kurdistan is too dangerous for them to go back to.
I am very glad that the filmmaker gave a voice to those people that seem ignored. It's a touching movie that focus on refugees but that as a more universal range: it make the viewer question how we treat other human beings.
