This is the first Finnish film I have seen. It is not a very talkative movie. Less is more is the case with this movie I think. It is a good topic to cover, refugee asylum in Europe. The restaurant scenes were very dryly funny. I had a moment of laughing out loud. It was political, intimate and funny. Sherwan Haji is a great actor.

The narrative itself is heartwarming and sweet while the pacing of the storyline allowed for more comedic opportunity which balanced the seriousness of Khaled's situation with the human ability to laugh in the face of evil.
The friendships and bonds that formed felt real and personal, especially that between Khaled and Mazdak.
I already want to watch this again.
