Origin of Movie: Austria

Synopsis of movie: The Chechen refugee kids Oskar (8) and Lilli (13), who have been living in Austria for six years, are about to be deported along with their mother. When their mother attempts suicide, it results in the short-term suspension of the deportation – but also in the forced separation of the family.
