    Excellent !!!

    Spectacular settings, sounds and production, a wonderful journey between different African countries where fragility can be appreciated. A drama where you can feel how difficult it is to go in search of a better world. Real Things in a real world. Totally Recommended

    Stunning

    I can't believe how this movie had this rate. It's one of the best movies I ever seen. And it's not only from it's technical achievements, which they are actualy top notch. But it's realism. People may think these are just fiction, but unfortunately they are not. I was a marine engineer years ago. We saw a lot of refugees on board. Some of them not older than Adu. We found an entire family in one container. They were already dead because of no air. All that horrible things hide my memory some how. I wasn't think about them till this night. And I watch Adu. My eyes doesn't stop tearing right now. How could I live with these until now, I just can't understand. When I look my baby girl, she sleeps peacefuly, because she knows she is safe and prosper. But she may be one of their child. I know this must used to be a movie crittic but it turned a terrapy session. That is how Adu made an affect on my emptions. I just want to share.

    What is, "for pleasure"

    Best Spanish movie in long time. Emotional value show. Beautiful picture.

    Current

    A Spanish drama. Spectacular Quality It is about a boy who seeks to leave Africa for witnessing a moment of illegal hunting and how his family is attacked by this situation, in fact it shows the success in being able to reach Europe, although he has two other stories that indirectly contribute to the plot. Adú's is the central one. He talks about the odyssey that migrants live and everything they have to suffer to try to achieve a better life. Raw Current. Moustapha Oumarou's performance is extraordinary. It is spoken in Spanish, English, French and dialects. With emotional moments and other heartbreaking ones. Did you read "We are all displaced" from Malala Yousafzai? Well this easy one can be one of many immigrant stories that the book handles. The only problem with the film is that two or three special effects are not entirely achieved.
