Elsewhere, Everywhere

Story

DOCUMENTARY The collected documents of a young Iranian man reveal the facts of a real migration – and the fiction of a success story. A journey is reconstructed – from mobile phone texts, protocols of phone calls and the questionnaires of various immigration services: the trek of 20-year old Shahin from Iran to Europe, where he hopes to find a better life. The further he gets from his home country, the bigger the discrepancy between his hopes and the wretchedness of his reality. Shahin has to become a story-teller to reassure his relatives back home.
