Seventeen-year-old orphan Alem lives alone with his grandmother. They have little money, and Alem begins to grow desperate at their never-ending poverty. He’d like to go on a school trip, but their modest budget makes it impossible. Endeavoring for once not to be the target of pity and contempt, the young man resorts to a desperate solution…
Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Alem desperately wants to go on a school trip to Italy, but he doesn’t have the money. An orphan, he lives with his grandmother and has no cash for extra expenses. If he could find the necessary funds, he’d no longer be the pitiful kid who’s always the worst off; instead, he’d be on a par with his richer classmates. And so Alem – whose coarse exterior hides a young man suffering from a sense of inferiority – decides to solve his eternal poverty through one dangerous act. In Precious, director Irfan Avdić demonstrates a knack for capturing minor situations that, although unimportant for some, are cruel and painful for others.
