Mirush Blodsbånd

Marius Holst has assembled an impressive international cast for this touching drama about 15-year-old Mirush’s ill-fated encounter with his father. When Mirush was a very small boy, his father abandoned his family in Kosovo to move to Norway. Since then, they haven’t heard from him, but Mirush has always imagined that everything would be ok, if only his father would be back in their lives. After a tragic experience in Kosovo, Mirush leaves his mother (Mirjana Karanovic from Grbavica) and goes to Oslo as an illegal immigrant. Here, he finds his father (the Italian Enrico Lo Verso) in a restaurant, where he is struggling to pay back debts to the Albanian Mafia. He is not exactly the saviour figure the boy had hoped for, and Mirush at first withholds his true identity. But the more he finds out about his father, the more he has to face making some decisive choices in life and considering, if blood really does run thicker than water. Nazif Muarremi delivers a vigorous performance in the title role of Mirush, who unexpectedly ends up among gangsters. Norway is depicted as a far from happy refuge in a story which doesn’t only describe what it’s like to be a refugee in Europe, but also what it’s like to be a refugee in one’s own life. Many years separate Marius Holst’s feature films, but Mirush once again proves that he is worth waiting for.
