Four asylum seekers relive their asylum hearings with the authorities. In a muted production, the audience is made aware of the burden of the procedures and the vital issues at stake for asylum seekers. Lisa Gerig subtly raises essential questions: what happens when your future depends on your ability to tell your own story convincingly? A subtle demonstration of the contradictions of the Swiss asylum system.
