It premiered at the 55th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, where it won five awards. PlotStrahinja and his wife Ababuo left Ghana and reached Germany at the beginning of the refugee crisis, but then they were returned to Belgrade. Serbia may not be Germany, but Strahinya is doing his best to start a new life. He gave himself this Serbian name to better fit into his new surroundings. They live in a refugee camp in Krnjača, and Strahinja works hard to get asylum, tries his hand at playing football for a local club and works as a volunteer for the Red Cross. One day, a new wave of refugees from Syria arrives in Krnjača, among them the charismatic Ali. Cast
