    A bit messy but very enjoying

    Japanese, Brazilian and Thai "culture" are shown in this movie.

    No matter where you from, no matter where you live, you're only human.

    Above you there is the system. The capitalism? Inside you there is the struggle of life. The heart or the mind? Below you there is the people that care less about you than you. Only human ?

    Direction could be improved (shaky camera) but there is some great plans. Acting is good, good casting. Editing is interesting but sometimes a bit bare. I love the story or should I say the non hollywoodian story. Just people living, having stories, struggling, being humans.

    Simple and efficient. As an expat myself, I absolutely enjoyed it as it is.
