Full Synopsis

A socio-political travelogue with elements of stylized reportage exploring contemporary social tensions and historical traumas across Europe. Through a mosaic, non-linear structure, the film moves between places and situations that reveal the boundaries of fear, identity, and the European way of life: from nationalist demonstrations in Warsaw and the streets of Tbilisi to the shores of Greece - a place of refuge for people on the move. Accompanied by experimental multi-layered commentary, the film invites reflection rather than offering simple answers.
