- Set in Africa and Denmark it shows us how bloody revenge and the power of forgiveness work in much the same way in both a refugee camp and a European school. Bier's strength is storytelling and her ability to find actors to do those stories justice. So the film works despite its somewhat facile philosophy and too comforting an ending.
