The short film seems even shorter than it is, because it is so breathtaking. The girls are adorable and their life situation heartfelt. I needed to see this, this part of the world is not unknown to me, but it isn't easy to visualise and understand it. Not even sure I ever really can? It shows true love between sisters and their happiness, while working and living in low standard jobs and housing.

The opportunity offered to the youngest, to step out of her current situation might seem logical to every adult, but it isn't for the young child. Influenced by her employer and the love for her sister makes her decision to leave not easy.

The cliffhangers in the end of the film are necessary, but tough to handle. I want to know what will happen to both the sisters, but I will have ot imagine it for myself. And that power. That makes this movie impact the one who is watching. We have to know, we have to understand, and that is something we have to do by watching actively, and contemplate by ourselves. Dive into the mind of the orphin, what will she do?

So unfortunate that Netflix stopped another coming of age fantasy series! But this time, for the first time, I can agree.

Ali Hadji-Heshmati - George Karim is the most convincing character of the lot, well acted and well written. Lucy and Antony are just not it, they are a bit edgy. Also edgy, the music. It is just wrong in my opinion. Some scenes could have been so much more interesting and exciting or even less annoying, without the classic rock.

The special effects are great. The plot is great and there is more than enough tension and adventure. Nevertheless, a few times I missed out on the lead, why are they heading towards this place? Why is this person around? Why was this important? This is not something that usually happens to me in other movies and series.

I have pointed out quite some negatives, but overall the series is captivating and it has definitely been worth my time this one season.
