It was such joy to see a Ukrainian film with so artful and competent direction, story, and acting. I look forward to checking the rest of the director's work.
Furthermore, I am always hesitant to see stories of men and their struggle with organized crime, as they tend to be gritty with stoic protagonists and stories that I do not tend to gravitate to. However, this movie really displays how having an actually likable and earnest protagonist can take a smuggling movie and make it into sth truly worthwhile!
p.s. the protagonist had the same effects to me as the drugs to him
