This movie deals with a very controversial and difficult topic in this day of anti-immigration attitudes and controversy surrounding refugees. It is a coming of age story of a kid as he escapes from Afghanistan and ends up in Denmark as a refugee. It tackles the psychological and sociological implications of human trafficking, war victims, immigration and other important topics. The animation is dark and masterfully done. Very well done that the switches to footage is disappointing and in my point unnecessarily takes away from the aesthetic. The interviewing medium is interesting but sometime feels forced and detracts from the emotions of some scenes. Still this is an incredible work just for attempting to navigate these difficult topics in an animation.
