Refugee family in Sweden faces trauma after youngest daughter falls into unexplained coma when asylum denied. Parents struggle to find cure, resilience tested amid difficult circumstances.
"Quiet Life (2024) is a film by Greek director Alexandros Avranas (ove Me Not, 2017), premiered at the 2024 Venice Film Festival. The plot follows a family of four—parents and their two daughters—Russian refugees in Sweden who hope, one day, to have their asylum application approved and become Swedish citizens: they learn the language, send their daughters to school, and work hard. However, when the application is rejected, one of the daughters falls into a mysterious coma, caused by resignation syndrome. Avranas creates a chilling family drama in this film, with people trapped in impossible situations that balance between absurd comedy and an all-too-real desperation, prompting reflection on the complicated realities of so many refugees around the world.
