\u201cWinsome, sweet, and often very funny\u201d IndieWire<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The quirky, deadpan humour of this director is remorseless as Khaled, the Syrian refugee to Finland, finds himself facing the realities of immigrant life, aided by his unlikely saviour, Wikstr\u00f6m, a travelling salesman turned restaurateur. The plight of the refugee is poignantly and sympathetically laid bare.<\/p>\n
