    The life of many migrants
    Oleg, a young man from Latvia, travels to Brussels in search of a better life, however, a series of misfortunes causes him to fall into the hands of an unscrupulous criminal.

    Although the pertinent and very current message, Oleg fails in some certain points, and because of that, the film can't reach the high level, so to speak, lacking the reflective and emotional tone, but still, the film leaves interesting notes along the way.

    The narrative focus on a story that is not new, of someone looking for something more in life, especially at the financial level, subjecting himself to exploitation and abuse.

    It's the point of view from the citizens of the East Europe, and how the most advanced European countries treat "outsiders", and how acceptance and integration are mere illusions for them.

    The cinematography adopts a style similar to a documentary, with very closed shots, giving a feeling of claustrophobia and constant pursuit, which works well.
