She and her family navigate war, exile, and heartbreak in a foreign land, illuminating the complexities of the refugee experience. Programmer's Note: One in a Million may seem to revisit familiar territory: the Syrian civil war, already documented in films such as Last Men in Aleppo (2017) and For Sama (2019). But this 10-year portrait of a displaced Syrian family seeking refuge in Germany feels like Boyhood meets The Odyssey —following a naïve, hopeful girl as she grows into a strong woman, while loosely evoking the long journey of exile and the dream of returning home to Syria after Bashar al-Assad's fall in 2024. Patient and insightful, it confronts questions of cultural assimilation, gender, and fractured identities with eye-opening self-reflexivity. (Eternality Tan, Vice-Chair & Programming Director)
