At the clinic she is told there is something wrong with the baby she is carrying. (berlinale.de)

Başka Sinema - Rexx: Benzerlerini çok kez gördüğümüz bu sosyal gerçekçi film, izleyiciyi olan bilenin ortasına hapseden kamera kullanımı ve oyuncuların bizzat kendilerini oynamasıyla değer kazanıyor denebilir. Ama "Günümüzün Bisiklet Hırsızları" yakıştırması, bir hayli abartılı olmuş sanki.

A bleak film portraying the plight of a poor and disadvantaged family in rural Bosnia-Herzegovina. It's not made clear what will happen to Senada at the end of the film, but based on what has gone before, we might assume that it's not good and that life will get even harder for Nazif the iron picker and his two young daughters. A stinging criticism of the state's position on ethnic minorities by Tanovic. And a mercifully short film.

A neatly put together piece of social realism, but a little too grim.
