Ramasan has a lot of responsibility for an 11-year-old. A refugee in Austria with his mother and two sisters, Ramasan must now be the man of the house since his father’s death back in Chechnya. But Ramasan’s world is disrupted when Isa, his father’s war buddy, moves into the same housing complex.
Bringing a keen sense of realism to her fiction debut, acclaimed documentarian Sudabeh Mortezai portrays refugee lives with an immense vividness often erased by sensational headlines. Through the eyes of a sensitive boy, the trauma of displacement is tenderly woven into the confusion of adolescence.
