Watch The Shelter For Free
The Shelter
It is winter at an emergency shelter for the homeless in Lausanne. Every night at the door of this little-known basement facility the same entry ritual takes place, resulting in confrontations which can sometimes turn violent. Those on duty at the shelter have the difficult task of “triaging the poor”: the women and children first, then the men. Although the total capacity at the shelter is 100, only 50 “chosen ones” will be admitted inside and granted a warm meal and a bed. The others know it will be a long night.

The Worst Film Ever
Strictly average movie
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
The topic of the movie is very clear I guess. A public institution is trying to help people having no place to live, while the demand surpass the supply. I tell a contemporary issue without too much exaggeration or drama. The beauty of this film is the way making you smile even though it covers a sad topic. The employees are able to communicate among themselves and laugh sometimes, hence making the viewers smile as well. Kids are enjoying without crying or making fuss. Even the organizers arranges a feast in which people make their folkloric dance, which like all dance scenes makes it unforgettable. Additionally, the movie is casted almost like the real. For sure, I guess the poors demanding the helps seems real, not actors. It create a warm feeling while facing this horrible migration crisis and its source reasons. In the movie, it shows the life of these people outside the shelter. In this regard, the movie is not about the shelter, the life of these people in general. This movie would be a witness to tell the future generations how these times were, the difficult lives and how the host countries tried to create some beauties in these lives.
