Democracy, social services, prosperity—what we take for granted sounds downright paradisiacal for many people living outside “Fortress Europe.”

Every year hundreds of thousands of people try to cross the borders to the European Union as asylum-seekers or illegal immigrants. Carla Gunnesch’s documentary follows four young African men in Berlin whose dreams have long been shattered. Their day-to-day lives consist of fear of identification checks, exploitation as illegal labor, and dwindling hopes for a brighter future.
