Olha Zhurba, with „Roma“, has this narrative flow already. She has been following Roma from meeting him on Maidan in 2014 until today, where the boy has grown to be a teenager turning 18 very soon. He was living on Maidan, he was in an orphanage, he has problems in reading, he had teachers in Maidan, he has teachers in the orphanage, he has done stupid things and risk to be put in jail if he repeats it. DOK Leipzig’s Daniel Abma and I were enthusiastic about this upcoming documentary that the director so far has financed out of own pocket. An investment of time and energy from a talented director and editor. Bravo!
“Outside brings a literal misfit into the mainstream – and into our hearts. He does this with a great cinematic performance. Director Olha Zhurba takes us on an incredible personal journey of her protagonist Roma – an orphan living outside of society. The film builds up a gripping emotionality that makes you hope for rescue right up to the last minute,” said Wolfram Hoppenstedt, Managing Director of the Federal Chancellor Willy Brandt Foundation, in the laudatory speech.
It's a sad story of an unprotected, impressionable child in search of an identity and human warmth, whose life has predestined him for the worst.
