Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Praying in the mud of construction sites, humiliated by the director of the shelter for asylum seekers, bargaining with the taxi driver, who is supposed to bring them to the Hungarian border, playing football or dancing the kolo - that’s how life can look for people stranded against their will in the Balkans after the long escape from Afghanistan, Syria, Ghana, Cameroon. On their way to “the West” Serbia was supposed to be but a stopover, Serbia – or is it perhaps really the kind of place where one could settle down and start a new life? Želimir Žilnik, a representative of the Yugoslav Black Wave of the 1960’s and one of the most important Serbian filmmakers to this day, makes a collaborative docu-fiction with his protagonists. In doing so he holds up a mirror to Europe’s restrictive immigration policies.
