Alone, he will have to figure out this new life , living on a day-to-day budget and barely speaking the native language.Trigger warnings: Contains flashing imagery, scenes including anxiety attacks, racial and homophobic slurs, brief sex and brief physical violence.
Reviews
“Mario Casas locks down his best role in 'Muy lejos' (...) a powerful debut, a drama that draws from the best tradition of European social cinema to portray immigration, the search for identity and the healing of oneself and one's environment.” Pepa Blanes, Cadena SER
