Synopsis

The experience of immigration draws Elettra Bisogno and Hazem Alqaddi together, yet also reveals the stark differences in living conditions between an Italian woman and a Palestinian man in Belgium. Using the camera as a means to craft this encounter, the duo co-directs this documentary, providing an intimate and heartfelt portrayal of the intersection between their lives, while also serving as a poignant depiction of the personal and social challenges wrought by a cruel international policy.
