Jimmie

1 hr. 28 min. | Drama | Pegi 13

As a violent conflict erupts in Sweden, a four-year-old Jimmie is forced to set out to find safety with his father. But the journey never ends, and no one seems to know where they are going. Bringing the refugee crisis horribly close to Western European audiences, the impressionistic "Jimmie" is a compelling, fascinating drama of a child, trying to survive in times of desperation and loss.
