After the dramatic dismantling of the camp of Idomeni, in Macedonia, Feriel, a little Afghan girl, tries to reach Austria with her brother. They will meet an old woman, who will change the course of their tragic story.



The Work
The camp of Idomeni in Macedonia, whose accommodation conditions for migrants are terrible, has just been dismantled. Even if the road to the Balkans will not reopen. Every day, every night, more migrants are turned away at the border, and many young people have disappeared into the wilderness.
Feriel, a little Afghan girl trying to reach Austria with her brother is a painful example. Having no other alternative but to leave the camp, at the risk of being forced to return to Afghanistan, they take refuge in the surrounding mountains.
But a meeting, a sharing with Elliniki, a very old Greek lady who lives in a secluded place in the wild Paiko massif will change the course of this tragic story.
Overwhelmed by so much misery, she will open her heart, which had been closed off by her own history, that of a people uprooted by war. She reaches out to the two teenagers to welcome them into her modest home.
She will display cleverness and love for these two exiles lost in a strange world far from their sufferings. So different but not indifferent ...
