It takes a human gaze at an austere transit camp, where 200 men, women and children, torn between doubt and hope, await the state's decision on their future. With its barbed wire and non-stop surveillance cameras, the center is a trying place for those with an uncertain future. Only 1% of cases receive asylum status; the others are given either provisional admission or 24 hours to leave the country. Empathy and distrust punctuate the exchanges between the residents and the staff of the centre, who are in charge of applying the most restrictive asylum law in Europe. A Somali man with a tale of cannibalism is deemed unreliable, while a Colombian family's chilling account of murder appears far more genuine. A balanced and engrossing look at the problems facing both staff and applicants. 580 Verzio Film Festival Submission 655 4 Documentary films 260 Switzerland, |c2008. 041 fra |jeng 952 |00 |10 |40 |50 |70 |8FL |991657FL |bFL |d2016-11-25 |l0 |r2016-11-25 |w2016-11-25 |yDVD-ROM 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_RECORD_1711_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9147253FL |bFL |d2021-01-19 |l0 |oFL Record 1711 |pHU_OSA_00003335.mp4 |r2021-11-04 |w2021-01-19 |yDIGIFILM |zAccess Copy, MP4 format |cAudio Visual 920 01 JXd0EJXk 966 True |bHU_OSA_00003335 |cDigitally Anywhere / With Registration
