I wonder if the filmmakers had (negative) influence. In a home situation where the whole family, including a sweet grandma, has to sleep on one bed, with a father who is a weakling and a mother who is never home because she works three jobs. When she is finally home, she feels no sense of responsibility-neither for Sanya nor for her other son and daughter, whom she has been fattening up year after year. The likelihood of a drama like this happening is greater than him diligently finishing his studies and happily going through life.

The documentary shows that poverty still exists in Europe. I expect the mother would have preferred to present a different picture. This is not such a flattering family portrait; I therefore find it very brave that they participated in this.
