As a Burmese, I deeply resonate with the characters who sacrificed everything to escape the military's brutal actions. The anguish and fear in their eyes describe the experiences many of us have known. The bond between the protagonist and her guide, U Aung Ko, is powerful and her willingness to risk her life to save him adds a touching and compelling element to the story. The military's oppressive control, which began in 1988, has cast a long shadow over the lives of innocent citizens, forcing them to live in constant fear that persists even today. This film beautifully captures the misery and horror inflicted by the military, making it a poignant and powerful portrayal of that dark time. Yess I cried my eyes out while I was watching this film.
