Nasim


DE 2021 / 2022
123 min / 85 min

Stranded in Moria — the European Union’s largest refugee camp — Nasim confronts her own fears and the hardships of the camp in her struggle for a self-determined life. One tragic summer is the turning point between her biography in Afghanistan and Iran and her new life on the fringes of Europe. When the camp goes up in flames, all hope seems lost.

(filmed in Camp Moria, Lesbos Island, Greece)
