Sinopsis(1)

Una familia gitana vive alejada de los centros urbanos de Bosnia-Herzegovina. Nasif, el padre, se gana la vida desguazando coches viejos y vendiendo las piezas. Senada, la madre, se ocupa de la casa, cocina y cuida de sus dos hijas pequeñas. Un día, siente un fuerte dolor en el abdomen. En el hospital le comunican que el niño que lleva en su seno está muerto. Deben operarla inmediatamente para evitar la septicemia. Pero Senada no tiene seguro médico. El precio de la operación supera con creces las posibilidades económicas de la familia, y el director del hospital le niega el tratamiento. Empieza una carrera contrarreloj mientras aumenta la desesperación de Senada. (Golem Distribución)

inglés This is quite a powerful episode from life. We can argue about the extent to which the protagonists' inertia is self-inflicted, but the way Danis Tanović portrays the hopelessness of their situation, through the seeming banalities of everyday life, to the desperate steps people are willing to take to save their loved ones, simply works. It’s not that I was fundamentally moved by it - the film isn't trying to do that - but it certainly did make me think. ()

inglés The best social dramas take place in landfills this year. Uncompromising verism, in which at first I was a little bothered by the thematic presence of the camera (in contrast to passages that adversely work with purely cinematic procedures), but in the end it captivated me with a combination of urgency and lethargy. This is another one of those films that opens up the possibility of several attitudes, does not introduce any of them and offers the most important thing - a raw section of reality, which the viewer must "experience" and process himself. Tanović is certainly not as skilled a mediator of "social distress" as, for example, Fliegauf, but here he managed to exactly hit the mark. [80%] ()

inglés It's a pretty simple, though at first glance quite powerful, story about how things can turn out when you can't afford proper health care. It's good how it's filmed with non-actors - at least I think so - because it comes across quite authentically. However, when the film ended, I suddenly realized that it didn't do anything for me. ()
