In the opening scenes of 2017s The Other Side of Hope, Syrian refugee Khaled illegally smuggles himself into Finland and the movie follows his plight as he tries to establish himself in this potential new home, but The Charmer, another 2017 movie but a drama that unfolds with the intensity of a psychological thriller, shows how protracted the struggle to belong can be with Esmail, an Iranian immigrant two years living in Denmark, nightly scouring bars for women he hopes might furnish him with an out from a looming visa expiry, and his behaviour is as desperate as it is despicable.
