A film vaguely based on personal experiences: the ones of those who, alike the filmmaker himself, come to U.K. searching a future yet facing the outsider's attempts to overcome the difficulties.
Synopsis:
Las Resort is a tale of a Russian single mother, Tanya, who arrives at England with her 10-year-old son to settle with her fiancée. The later will dump her in the last minute as he does not show up, leaving Tanya and her son trapped in a foreign country in which they have no legal access. Within the airport confusion, Tanya applies for asylum and will become locked in the dead en¡mbrace of bureaucracy, abandoned besides her son in a grim seaside tower block where she is expected to wait several months until her application is considered.
After few attemps to escape, she finally makes friends with an arcade worker who, attracted to her, does his best to make her hopeless life more acceptable. But Tanya's point of view, strongly conditioned by her bourgeoise background and her problems to survive in an isolated resort of an allien country, will address the crude humanity of the film to a lack of conclusion following like this the pure essence of real life.
Simply made, and intentionally located in an empty landscape, Last Resort sucessfully depicts the struggle of the outsider in the pursuit of happiness, blank gaps of land where the burden of the inexorable procedures of life leave little room for hope.
Open questions:
- Have you ever had a personal experience of immigrating into another country?
- What do you think can be the motives of people to move to another country from their homeland?
-What do you think of UK as a country of reception of asylum seekers?Do you have again any personal experience that you would like to share?
