ACROSS THE SEAS AND DESERTS
Stuck in the middle of a desert, stranded on a strange boat in the middle of the sea, hiding at the back of an anonymous truck or marooned at an immigrant camp. Six stories about people who have started their journey but have yet to reach their destination. Short-film protagonists are modern wanderers who in hopes for a better life flee from political regimes, wars and poverty. Many of them find themselves in an unusual and often hopelessly suppressing state of transit for an extended period of time.
