Highly recommend
I think where Sawah excels is its simplicity. The storyline is straight forward, allowing for other elements to be the stars of the film. The actors all shine in their respective roles. The cinematography showcases the various locations beautifully. Being a film partially about music, the sound design is also well executed. This is all brought together with expert direction. I highly recommend!

The story is new, different and light but not epic
The story is new and different, but not epic It didn't have a very bad acting performance, I mean, all of them were good, but the best of them was Karim Qasim, who was very suitable for the character and the Belgian Eric Kabongo It's a light, beautiful, special film and a very enjoyable journey.
