The movie fails in every way imaginable. The story is straight forward love story, told from the view of the main character, which becomes hard to follow and boring.

The movies is irritating to view at, often looking muddy, out of focus, and with outdoor scenes changing from bright and colorful, to dark and muddy, simply when the camera changes position.

The acting is serviceable at best. With the child actors sometimes looking at the camera and the adult actors looking like they would rather do something else.

It's obvious that the makers of this movie did not care about the subject matter and wanted to make the movie as fast as possible, as cheap as possible, with the whole premise being: "Let's change Mannerheim from a white Finn, into a black Kenyan.", which worked for them, in the sense that they got a lot of media coverage for it.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
