The documentary follows the lives of three unaccompanied minor refugees from Afghanistan, Palestine/Syria and Burundi, who become friends at a shelter in Greece. Documenting their journey for four years, the film highlights their mental fortitude, their attitude towards life and their struggle to realize their dreams. Through the perspective of Christina Vazou, photographer and hospitality center worker, the documentary offers an honest look behind the identity of the "refugee", revealing universal truths that concern us all. Despite their different stories, the three young people share a common goal: to overcome difficulties and emerge victorious. A moving coming-of-age story, full of wisdom and inner strength!
