Played out with agonising matter-of-factness against a wintry backdrop of chimneys and tips, it’s a grim, if quietly compelling affair.
It's short and sharp, but with a big blunt end.
What lights up the screen is Nazif's quiet, undemonstrative love for Senada, and hers for him. It is finally very moving.
Danis Tanovic's heart-rending drama-documentary recreates the plight of an impoverished Roma family.
A bold step, but it pays off.
