When Ahmad’s life comes under threat by the Taliban in Afghanistan, he leaves his family behind for survival, without saying good bye, and ends up in Europe’s worst Refugee Detention Camp, Moria. Ahmad joins forces with Canadian filmmaker Jawad Mir (Only 78), to document his journey in the detention centre, with hopes he will eventually be granted asylum in Europe or Canada. Through the stress of leaving his family, and the anxiety of not knowing how many years it will take, Ahmad strives to maintain his determination while making the lives of those around him better if he can.

Both poetic and disturbing tribute to the many refugees who have drowned trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea into Europe. A plea against neglect, and for a human outlook on the realities at the European borders. Filmed by refugee filmmakers who themselves survived the deadly Mediterranean crossing.
