"Four friends have managed to flee the Taliban to Vienna, where they are awaiting a decision on asylum. For several years, they capture on camera the fragments of their lives in a foreign land, revealing with insight the personal stories of the involuntary nomads of today.
Samim, Najid, Fawad and Marwand. They are united by language, culture and their common escape to Europe. While some are granted asylum in Austria, others become illegal refugees. But integration into society is crucial for their future.
This gripping story of friendship, fear, uncertainty and hope is a mosaic of stays in refugee facilities, dangerous border crossings and ordinary everyday moments. The diaristic narrative confirms that immigrant*s*, overlooked by mainstream society, share the same desire to find stability in their lives and a safe home in a world that often sees them only as an administrative burden."
