The Good Life - Over There

Synopsis

Sami is an illegal worker in Oslo that minds his own business and breaks his back to support a family in his home country. When forced to babysit the son of a boss he admires, and aims to become like, Sami faces the choice we all try to balance on a daily basis; family and work. Both require loyalty. Both want dedication. Both change us, but whichever we spend most time with changes us in its own direction.
