Synopsis
On their way to Northern Europe, a Syrian family having fled the war, finds themselves trapped with other families at the ‘green border’ - a boggy forest located between Poland and Belarus. This hard-hitting film depicts the distress of those who find themselves caught up in political wrangling that goes beyond them.
