About
In the 1980s a Romanian family, accompanied by their dog defects to Greece where they are accommodated in a refugee camp. Exhilarating, absurd or saddening surprises meet them at every turn when, during their wait for Canadian immigrant visas, they mingle with refugees from the communist bloc, Afghanistan and Turkey. Not everyone has the same reason for being there, but camp-mates of the same mind gather around drinks and there is talk of hope and love, hatred and betrayal, heroism and sacrifi ces. These cathartic tales unfold against the background of one of the cruelest periods of history.
