In the face of impossible odds, his brave ambition to become a professional photographer becomes a window into his world and ultimately his way out!

Ratings and reviews

This story has been told so many times before. Bland characters and predictable. I got more out of a GTA game then this.

English subtitles are included! Even though the automatic notification informs this movie has no subtitles, it does (only English subtitles though). Amazingly good movie.

One of the best movie I ever saw
