On Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland, Lara trains as a border patrol officer at the Keflavík airport. Despite struggling financially and fighting personal demons, she’s a devoted mother to her young son, Eldar. One day on the job, Lara spots a suspicious passport, resulting in Adja, a female refugee from Guinea-Bissau, being detained. Days go by as Adja is held in a state of limbo, and the two women’s paths continue to cross in the small town. Despite resentment and cultural differences, the women - neither with obvious paths in life - find a unique bond that rests on a moment when Lara is faced with a crucial decision.

Netflix has now taken over the Icelanders as well, and in cooperation they filmed an interesting, although a bit depressing drama about the crossing of two not-so-ideal destinies, who briefly share something and then separate again. While the main characters could exchange a little bit more than just those few strictly necessary sentences, the authors have created a believable situation, which could easily happen in real life. I have also enjoyed the beautiful shots of Iceland, which never lose their appeal. ()
Pela forma como as coisas «pequenas» são tratadas no filme, é extremamente cativante. Graças à direção focalizada nos atores, a narração detalhada dos sentimentos através dos rostos e a disposição interna dos personagens. ()
Stupid social porn (poor single mother, government, refugees, drugs, homosexuality) that picks up screenwriting crutches like Pokémon. Babetida Sajdo is reduced to being a mere vehicle for anguished expressions, people randomly meet each other as if the whole of Iceland were fifty meters wide, and there's always a blonde dude wandering around dishing out apt ad-libs on cue. "And who decided that cats should live in cages?" Good God! ()
