Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Rodaan al Galidi emigrated to the Netherlands from Iraq. For more than seven years he waited in vain for a residence permit and to escape deportation he went into hiding in a small room where he taught himself Dutch and started writing novels and poems, some of which have won prizes. By the time a General Pardon was finally announced, Rodaan had had enough of the Netherlands and left for Belgium to start a new, possibly legal life. A story of a man's quest for freedom from fear, this film presents the defenselessness of illegal migrants.
