Amazing

Made an account here on IMDB, just to recommend this movie. Apparently only ONE other recommended this? This is one of the best movies I've watched in a long time. I stumbled upon this movie by chance, and decided to give it a try. It was very much worth it!! I haven't watched any Swiss film before, at least to my knowledge?

It's absolutely amazing. The acting from both Sarah Spale and Luna Mwezi is sublime and extremely believable. At times it's really hard to get through, since the story revolving around Mia and her mom is very sad and somewhat depressing. The daily struggle of the daughter Mia, trying to help her mother, is very touching, although very sad.

I had to stop the movie a few times, just to get a break. Definitely cried through a lot of the tough scenes. I had to remind myself it's "just" a movie, but it felt very real.

Anyways, if you get a chance to watch this movie - I thoroughly recommend you should.
