Sinekatalog’s take
Sohrab Shahid-Saless's quiet film follows a Turkish migrant worker in Germany who lives alone, trying to keep his dignity. Spare and observed in long takes, it is a moving, unsentimental portrait of loneliness and exile.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
