Stop-Over

In the heart of Athens, a group of Iranian migrants find refuge in a humble apartment, a temporary stopover on their perilous journey to a better life. Amir, their host and a fellow Iranian, has established a makeshift "hostel" here, providing shelter and sustenance to those in transit. But the threat of discovery and deportation looms large, and the migrants must navigate the treacherous landscape of human smugglers and border controls. As they wait anxiously for their turn to cross the border, they share their stories, hopes, and fears, and grapple with the harsh realities of their uncertain fate. Against the backdrop of this precarious existence, the director delves into the complexities of the migrant experience, capturing the resilience and resourcefulness of those who dare to dream of a brighter future.
