Conteúdos(1)
A year after a deadly bomb attack in Denmark, ultra-nationalist politician Martin Nordahl and his National Movement are leading in the polls. Influenced by his unabashedly anti-immigrant rhetoric, society has rapidly turned on ethnic minorities, especially those with an Arab background. In this climate, 19-year-old Zakaria feels compelled to act to protect his own and his family’s safety. However, to do what he feels is necessary to turn the political tide, he needs to abandon his mother and little brother. Zakaria gets involved in a radical organisation, where he forms a bond with Ali. The two men cannot agree with the current state of the country, which is turning on its own citizens because of their migration background, and decide to act. However, they are both just tools in the hands of people with power. As the men try to make their mark, their brotherhood will be tested and their actions will have grave consequences on their lives.

Um filme ambicioso e socialmente empenhado sobre os perigos do extremismo crescente e o facto de que as pessoas de certas etnias não devem ser consideradas ser todas iguais e que qualquer solução violenta apenas produzirá mais violência, começa como um drama sobre um homem jovem, que se junta a um grupo de radicais árabes para proteger a sua família, e continua como um thriller político sobre o medo e o ódio na sociedade e os políticos oportunistas que abusam de ambos da maneira populista no seu benefício. Ideologicamente atual, o filme pode ser elogiado por trabalhar com um tema importante e uma mensagem dirigida com precisão, mas em geral derrubado por uma direção medíocre, um ritmo demasiado lento e uma execução pouco imersiva e simplista.

A spiral of hatred and extremism where the violence and intolerance of one side results in even more intolerance from the other. Or how some lunatics prevail over other lunatics. The subject is relevant, but I felt that the film was simplistic in several aspects and not entirely believable. For example, I can’t believe that a main political party would push so hard for such an explicitly controversial agenda. The ending is quite cathartic, especially if you applied it to the current Czech environment, but only until you realise what would follow – not a calmed situation, for sure. #KVIFF2019
