Stop-Over

In Athens, Amir, an Iranian immigrant, has a modest flat, which has become a place of transit for migrants who like him have chosen to leave their country. But Greece is only a stopover, all of them hoping to reach other Western countries.
They find themselves stuck at Amir’s, hoping for ID documents, contacts and the smuggler to whom they might entrust their destiny.
