After a winding journey through Ukrainian Montains, Nigerian bush or the jungle of Sri-Lanka, they stopped on the Rhine riverside.
They are refugees. Whether regularised or expecting to be, several issues arise as their story develops: how to come through their pain, how to survive and go on with their lives? An intimate film, attentive to real people.
