‘Migrant Girl’ - 140-minute long film in just one shot 2
European cinema often pioneers new experiments in storytelling.
The plot revolves around the main character, a young girl from Madrid (Spain) who comes to Berlin (Germany) to work at a cafe.

The film opens with harsh electronic music from German DJ Koze.
With one shot lasting more than two hours, Sturla takes viewers from the nightclub to the streets of Berlin, climbs to the apartment rooftop, goes to a cafe, goes down to the garage, steps onto the ground and then back to the hotel.
The film crew filmed a total of three times and the last shot was the version chosen to be made into a movie.
The work handles all the drama in 140 minutes and in just one shot.
Using one camera shot to tell an entire story lasting more than two hours is a very risky form of expression.
At the beginning of the film, Victoria may cause many viewers to be a bit distracted as they begin to get acquainted and curiously pay attention to the filming technique.
Young girl Victoria comes to a new city, gets acquainted with strange young men and does the craziest things with them in just one night.
An emotional scene in the movie.
The way the characters are built in the story of Victoria also bears similarities to real life.
A script is only 12 pages long with most of the dialogue for the actors to `write themselves` but when it becomes a complete movie, Victoria has a colorful story with a full climax.
When it premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival last year, the film received countless praise from critics and won the Silver Bear award.
