Overseas

About This Movie

Overseas is an intriguing slice-of-life film that captures the grind of Wawa Kai, a fish processing plant worker from Myanmar. It’s not flashy; it's subdued and almost painfully realistic. The film immerses you in her daily routine, but there’s an undercurrent of tension that makes even mundane tasks feel fraught with danger. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sit with her anxiety, which is palpable as she navigates her precarious existence. The performances are raw, and you can sense the authenticity in each moment, reflecting the struggles faced by many migrants. It's this realism that sets it apart—no frills, just the stark truth of survival in a foreign land.
