Is it PC? Yes. Am I PC? Hell no!! Stick with it to the end. Humans being decent to other humans; there're no politics associated with being decent. This is just humans being good to one another.

From the first frame of a film you know that the maker has a grasp over the medium and has made a relationship with it. This is the same with this film. The shots and scenes are never loose or slow and yet the film takes its own time and pulls you into living it at its own pace. The story of a woman from a first world country who is dealing with her own problems and is some kind of an immigrant in her own country, who helps out an immigrant from another country. But what's beautiful about this, as with all great tales is that it destroys all kinds of borders and leaves you with a beautiful human story about how the human spirit triumphs over everything in its way and can be so all encompassing, compassionate, inclusive and brave.

This film kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. Great performances by the two leading actresses. Politics aside, the story is original and somewhat heart breaking. Unusual, circumstantial bond of two mothers from the different parts of the world. If you have strong opinions about illegal immigration and love to debate about it, skip this movie, for all you 'll see is what you would want to see, completely missing the tragic, but beautiful story.

The film correctly shows us the issue of immigration, including the despicable people who take advantage of the circumstances. It focuses on the vicissitudes of an African woman who will soon be deported from Iceland to her native Guinea-Bissau, where she fled for feeling her life threatened. In spite of all this, she sympathizes with an Icelandic mother and her son, to whom life is not going very well either, and shares what little she has with them. Emotive and beautiful film, which keeps the spirit warm. Highly recommended!!

Two lives full of misfortunes, one a young single Icelandic woman with a child, who is also a border police employee, with many difficulties to make ends meet and the other an African woman fleeing from Guinea and who is caught in Iceland in transit to Canada holding a false passport, At the beginning they show mutual distrust, but in time sudden events make them close together.. It is neither an exciting nor a boring movie. If you fancy Iceland, an exotic corner of the world, just watch it
