Terra di transito

Terra di transito

After a dangerous journey from Iraq, 27 years old Rahell arrives in Italy. From there he planned to reach Sweden, the country where his family obtained political asylum years before and lives happily. But Rahell finds out very soon that, according to the European asylum regulations, his destiny will always be bound to the country where his finger prints were first taken. Like thousands of asylum seekers in Southern Europe, Rahell finds himself stuck in a "land of transit" without means to start a decent life. Through intimate interviews, this documentary follows Rahell's attempts to reach Sweden and shows how European asylum and immigration policies urgently need to be reformed.
