This very realist film tells the story of a Hungarian mother of three little children (the oldest being in elementary school and the youngest being in pre-kindergarten). Anna's, the mother's, day is completely full, starting 6 until late in the night, with taking care of the kids, working in a language school and worrying about her marriage, because of her cheating husband. I think the filmmakers used very real experiences making this film, which piece of art is also very Hungarian in the experiences it depicts. The last scene is the best one, because that is the moment when Anna finally gives in and, in a way, takes care of herself.

This is an important documentary about an Arab Israeli family, with Bedouin heritage from the father's side. It is very interesting how the children feel closer to the Jewish population of Israel than to the Arab, because they grew up in a mainly Jewish town, and not in there father's Bedouin hometown. The film also explores the importance of end-of-life discussions, namely the problem regarding the mother's burial. It is truly remarkable how openly the family can talk about what the mother wants when she will die. It is a movie worth seeing, because one can learn a lot about different cultures living together and effecting each others' lives and deaths.

This is the best Hungarian thriller I've seen so far. The acting is overall great, especially the lead actor, who brilliantly portrays a single mother working against a corrupt system. The gastlighting in the movie is so apparent, even those who aren't well-versed in gender studies can see it. Also, the cinematography is on point showing how the world turned upside down. This movie is a dystopia, but it contains social critism as well.
