SYNOPSIS

An illegal Indian Immigrant, en route to, what he hopes is a better life in London, finds himself stuck on a farm in the Czech countryside. On this farm he forms an unlikely friendship with an Ukrainian care-taker, who himself is an immigrant. Seeing another immigrant’s struggles, the Indian realizes, maybe Europe is not the paradise he was hoping for.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

Coming to the Czech Republic was the first time I travelled outside of India. After coming to Europe, I saw the high number of people illegally traveling from many countries, and we were surprised to see the number of people coming from India. For them, Europe is a ‘paradise’, but after coming here, they see the reality. Some, would live in conditions way worse than what they had left behind. Making this film was our way to give these people, the ones who give up everything & leave, and their experiences a voice.
