Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Fernand Melgar's intimate and emotionally charged portrait of the rejected asylum seekers and illegal migrants in Switzerland's Frambois detention centre reveals a world that few know from the inside. There are three possibilities for every resident: to leave free, with asylum granted, to leave the country voluntarily on a regular flight, or to leave under guard on a so-called "special flight" back to their country of origin. As planes come and go in the background, the staff — who are caretakers, counselors, and friends to the men there — have heart-felt conversations about the well-being of the residents. With amazing access to his subjects, Melgar introduces us to a community of men who share friendships, fears, and a similar fate.
