A sensorial and first-person immersion into the suffocating experience of an underground shelter whereasylum seekers are stowed upon their arrival in Geneva. The film invites the viewer to live the anguishof Mohammad who recalls, word by word, his underground life experience. Based on images taken byrefugees with their mobile phone and found on the internet, narrow and hesitant images, framed by twoimposing black bands, the film deals with asylum in a subjective way, focusing on the anguish, thewaiting and the nightmares. The atmosphere is supported by an intense soundtrack, composedexclusively from real bunker noises. Sounds which are first insidious, but short become obsessive andoppressive. The film recalls dark moments of our collective history and interrogates the space left forasylum-seekers in contemporary Europe.
