Viewing it made me realize this was unlike anything that I had seen before, and it told an important and captivating story.
From the authentic Somali names to how realistic the struggles are.
Great Somali love story.

Great Somali love story.
I had the privilege of watching the first screening of this beautiful film in Hargeisa and I had never experienced this much emotion watching a Somali film.
Even though the nature of the film was very sad, there was still a lot of wit and moments I found funny which created a dynamic experience that deeply resonated with me and made me connect even more with the characters. This definitely made the film more memorable to me.
I hope I see similar works like this by Somalis in the future, hopefully we can see something about the experience of young adults in Somalia which is something I am sure would be loved widely loved and also I am looking forward to future works of Khadar a brilliant director and human.

A moving tribute to life led in the horn. The people, the suffering, the love, the friendship and community. Just beautiful.
Kadar Ayderus and the cast did an amazing job portraying wha poverty can do, how building your own family away from your community is difficult and yet salvation can be found in new places, new people, new homes and new communities.
Can't wait to see what else these talented artists give us next. Special shout out to the young actor Khadar! What a star.

This film teaches us about true love, patience, and gratitude. Growing up, the vast majority of Africans had to deal with struggles and a difficult life, but quitting was never an option.
I saw this film few days ago and it was one of the most emotional and most beautiful films I've seen this year. The ending still haunts me few days later.
