About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a thoughtful, sometimes surreal immigrant story focused on hope, anxiety, and bureaucracy, similar in spirit to Martin Eden; Not for you if you need fast pacing or deeply detailed character arcs.

Pros: immersive immigrant journey; striking dreamlike moments; strong sense of hardship | Cons: slow pacing; thin character depth; uneven modern music
