"This boy walked 4000 km and is now planning to swim the Channel just to be with his girl… I couldn't even cross the road to get you back."

I went into this movie expecting it to be very predictable and the typical migrant story. While welcome isn't necessarily ground-breaking, it does a good job of dramatizing the plight of refugees and showing how they are perceived by the people around them. Bilal is a 17 year old who hopes to cross the English channel to reunite with his girlfriend, as difficult as the task seems and he's determined to make it no matter the obstacles he faces. Although the story is slightly predictable, you do root for him to make it and the ending does catch you by surprise. Watch this if you want something though-provoking but easy to watch.

It's an amazing film. It just goes to show, life doesn't always work out. Failure is a part of life; all that matters is you push forward, and you never give up on your dreams.
