New Home
What is the greatest threat to Europe: a crisis at its borders or the internal fear and paranoia? On her way home from work our heroine sees a refugee mini-camp in a park. She does not want to hurt them and they don’t want to hurt her. So why do things get so catastrophically out of hand when their paths cross?
