Everyone is very optimistic about getting asylum. They have high hopes and dreams of their beautiful future life in Europe. But the nightmare is not over. It is a simultaneous filming of the inner call of identity on a journey as an exile filmmaker and intellectual person faced with the asylum seekers' future exile.
