The film is very relevant because it addresses the problems of refugees, a phenomenon which always accompanies armed conflicts. Maybe not so long ago a story like this, whose protagonists come from African countries, would seem remote and not very interesting for us, but now Ukrainians have also faced the emergence of a huge number of refugees and internally displaced people. It has affected us directly, and now we understand very well that the world needs human mercy, solidarity, and respect for these people’s rights.
