Oscar and Lily: A Childhood Refuge (A new window)And the By Arash T.
From 10 years
A poetic and poignant story of emigration and exile. Oscar and Lilly, two Chechen children, are about to be deported from Austria with their mother.
It’s a very nice movie, a story that feels like real. Chechens living in Austria are at risk of deportation. There is a lot of humor, it’s not melodramatic.
