We are in Belzig, a small town an hour Southwest of Berlin, where filmmakers Judith Keil and Antje Kruska have met and accompanied three men stranded at the “Asylbewerberheim” (home for asylum seekers) for different reasons. Now, there are many ways in which to put these experiences into a documentary film and Keil and Kruska decided on a mix of being embedded filmmakers and staging the journey of their protagonists. With their use of music and their filmic approach (using reverse shots in discussions and putting together a string of scenes for the flow of the narration), they recede from a type of social report and move towards exposing a rather indistinct protagonist: Germany.
