"The Swimmers" is an impressive film that tells the long and arduous journey of the two Syrian sisters Yusra and Sara in opulent images.
From war-torn Damascus to promised Germany, the two young women have to put up with a lot of effort and as a viewer you get a realistic impression of what refugees in this world have to do so that they can see a better future in another country.
The camera is outstanding and the acting is great.
If you want to criticize the film for something, it's that the cause of the war in Syria isn't even addressed. The formerly modern and Western country was catapulted back to the Middle Ages by the influence of Islam, like Iran before it.
