Try to look through the low budget

This movie is very low-budget which is hard to neglect, especially at the start (the light is not done by a professional, to say the least).

But I am not judging movies by their technical qualities. In fact, it is quite amazing what the director got out of such a low budget. The film captures the depressing mood of the main characters and their surroundings quite well.

The acting is reasonable and the story is, well, I'm afraid like everyday life in the ghetto. It is well worth watching this movie as a study of desperation, and don't expect any laughs.

7/10
