In his letters, Hassan tells of his everyday life, his desires and fears. Based on its history, the film focuses on European refugee policy, structural exclusion and the isolation at the European external borders.
After the screening, a conversation with Jennifer Mallmann will take place. The event of Anna Lena Buchleitner and Sidonie Ulreich from Attac Vienna.
