Plot
A young Iranian man is desperately trying to meet women who can secure his stay in Denmark. As time runs out, he falls in love and his past catches up with him.
Sinekatalog’s take
A tense character study of a young man who seduces to survive, his charm gradually turning into a trap of its own making. It is cool, observant and uneasy about loneliness and belonging, ideal for viewers who prefer quiet psychological pressure over fireworks.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
