He sues his parents for bringing him to this world of hardship, but that is a philosophical starting point, hard one, that has you thinking about many things, but the movie is about this kid and his life. His like the one many others, how they all survive despite all, and how they will all end in trouble. Life is, after all, not a fairy tale.

A note: the actor was a Syrian refugee found in the street of Beirut by the director herself, with a story of hardship. Since the movie he and his family moved to Norway.

Watch it, it's hard but life is also this. It is worth your time.
He did not win the Oscar of 2019 as foreign movie, Roma did. It's a pity.
