Why did I like this movie so much ? Because 40 years ago, during Iran/ Irak war , I flee to Norway from Tehran. I was a teenager , eager to please & to be accepted. I learnt the Norsk language faster & better than anyone ever had before. I totally assimilated in the society. Walked & talked like them. Started medical school after one year. I have a lot of fantastic things to say about the Norway as country & it's people. Most importantly they gave me a refuge when I needed it. But I had so much to teach them too. Persian culture, food , generosity and hospitality. Eventually when I no longer needed nor cared, if they accept me as one of them ( you pass testes like in the film every single day for as many years as you live there), I became truly happy. Proud of myself, of the woman & the doctor I became. I kept the good from both cultures and didn't care for the bad.
