This is Germany - Cologne to be exact - but it seems that the people we see could have been located in any country, as are the problems and experiences they face.
All the characters have levels of depth and surprising stories, ideas, thoughts and ways of expressing themselves that completely shatter our early impressions of them.
It's incredibly sympathetically shot and also really funny and sweet at many moments. The incredible trust that the protagonists must have had with the directors is clear to see on screen and is a real compliment to their patience and abilities. Really this is one of the best documentaries of its type I've ever seen.
I saw this at the Leipzig DOK film festival and was blown away by how good it was. I desperately hope this gets proper distribution as more people need to see this.
An incredible achievement for work by two such young directors.
