Focus Years: 2013 | Country: Denmark
Synopsis:
There are 45 million refugees in the world. 500 of them are hand-picked to live out their lives in Denmark, where society is willing to house them, as long as they have what it takes to contribute to society. A policy which ruthlessly picks out the strongest and leaves behind the weakest and most vulnerable refugees. 'Suitable' follows four Burmese families, who, while exiled in Malaysia, are invited to interviews with Danish envoys, in the hope of being selected. It ought to be a happy story with the Danish state as a generous protagonist. But Katrine Philp's film also takes a swipe at the Danish smugness and invites us on a journey that is not just long in a geographic sense, but also emotionally exhausting - towards a destination that raises new questions on the notion of identity and the good life. The contrast between the grey winter afternoon in a thermally-insulated provincial home in Denmark, and the inner storm that the citizens who have been declared as 'suitable' have to live with, is often as gaping as the journey is long.
