Oof, this one hit hard.
At some points, the movie felt more like a documentary than a fictional tale. The actors are all great, especially Lina Arashi whose portrayal of the inner conflicts her character is going through hit me in my guts several times.

Unfortunately, the film tries to tell too many things at once, especially at the beginning. Here, imho, it would have been better to invest 5 minutes more and make an overall introduction - not in a "classic" way and by all means,… -
