The story itself is not surprising or revolutionary. Everything that happens is essentially what any decent human being can hope to see in any story of integration that involves deprived locals and war refugees from vastly distinct cultures.
It is not particularly well told or developed. Many of the interesting tensions are not well explored. The plot shifts and turns are sometimes predictable, other times quite random and often badly delivered.
The saving grace is that actors are local and the struggles are real. It becomes quite another thing to see local people trying to tell a fictional story based on their own very real history of resistance and change.
