Switzerland has some of the most restrictive asylum laws in all of Europe. In a Swiss reception center for asylum-seekers, 200 men, women, and children wait—some having risked their lives to be here—until the government decides their fate. The facility’s daily sorting process is examined close up.
Chronicling undocumented immigrants and asylum-seekers who must justify their presence in affluent Switzerland, this is a stirring and compassionate documentary rendered in stunning cinematography. Winner of the Filmmakers of the Present Golden Leopard at Locarno Festival.
