The weight of the world shouldn’t be on any children shoulder to burden. The narrative flow reminds me of “Grave of Fireflies” in its focus on the sibling dynamic between Somifa and Shafi, where two children of Rohingya refugees trying to seek asylum in Malaysia. The narrative drive of the movie reflects on how the world politics had impacted their upbringing, too young to grasp on why they are running away, yet they persisted with their adolescent pluckyness to survive. At its core this is a road film that highlights the siblings bond amidst all of the evil the world has to offer with a taste of an Orphic Tragedy at the very end.
