My Small Land

Japan, France 2022 | 114 minutes | Japanese, Turkish, Kurdish | Hebrew subtitles

For Sarya (17), a Kurdish refugee girl in Japan, life seems to be looking up; her grades are enough to pursue college, she's surrounded with good friends, and her relationship with Sota is becoming special. But when her family is refused refugee status, Sarya's life turns upside-down. A Small Land, which offers an ironic look at the Japanese government's "welcoming" policy, translates this drama into a heartfelt story. This attention beautifully builds up and capture the heart and mind.
