Brilliant and important story, with an okay performance

As an attention-grabbing movie, it's perfect. Half of the time, I was legit sick of some of the comments from art collectors/artists/connaisseurs, etc..

The movie focuses on the desperation of Syrian refugees to get a better life, but it satires and highlights the inhuman treatment of refugees in Europe and the world, treating people like numbers or objects.

It provokes the 21st colonization, by rich people, artistas, pseudo-activists, who think themselves as saviours and as better people for paying a refugee, for giving them attention. The movie brillianty satires that presumption, making the refugee a slave and a property of the white rich artist or the white rich colector. To them, what they do is charity.

Social dilemma aside, the movie isn't amazing. The love story that serves as the anchor isn't new or flashy, and the cinematography is okay, with some questionable choice of visual effects.

But that's being very petty. The movie is very good and it's one of those movies that you must show around for years to come.

PS: Blond Monica Bellucci is a godess.
