Boring

Plot: Eva, a popular high school teacher and wife to the town's mayor, faces the ultimate test when she falls in love with a young asylum seeker, sparking a forbidden relationship with fatal consequences for them both. The film explores nuances of nativity and exploitation, power and powerlessness, and what appears to be a simple tale of forbidden love evolves into a thought-provoking moral study on cynicism and selfishness masked by generosity.Don't buy the hype. This movie is a trainwreck. The direction is heavy handed and the acting is ridiculously bad. I was nodding in and out because it's so slow and boring.

Timely

What is the purpose of taking in refugees? Hopefully real compassion and mercy, right? Or is it just virtue-signaling, for only as long as it suits us? What we see here looks like a good deed at first, and then devolves into a display of privilege and self-righteous hypocrisy.Reality is even worse though, depending on which country you consider.
