A shared world premiere: A drama featuring genuine asylum-seekers, inspired by true stories.
Palestinian-Syrian teenager Nasser and his brother are in a Greek refugee camp, awaiting a decision on their asylum application. They pass the time by making videos of comedy sketches they think up. Nasser, however, feels increasingly trapped in this no-man’s-land fraught with tensions and repressed traumas.
