Synopsis
African and South Asian migrants arrive at a Paris squat after leaving Libya. The film first follows life inside a self-managed building with around 400 residents—cooking, prayer, schooling, and eviction talks. Shot in static compositions and natural light, it captures daily moments with observational clarity. The second part shifts to the Geo Barents, a refugee rescue ship in the Mediterranean, where survivors receive care. With minimal dialogue and a haunting score by Bertrand Bonello, the film contrasts asylum hopes with the harsh reality of migration, portraying the resilience of migrant communities on Europe’s edge.
