Wholly engaging and endearing, telling an anxious tale of a refugee and his family in a wholly fascinating animated way. The rotoscoping of this autobiographical journey allows the world and the past to open up to us; it lets us feel and experience along with him. There is a breaking down of some barriers with the animation, allowing feelings to be more open and susceptible, so when horrors, hardships, and hurts came, we easily identified with those moments but kept a connection to the real.
