Sögur af Úkraínskum flóttamönnum sem fá „tímabundið skjól“ í Ásbrú.
Can you feel at home when you are forced to leave your motherland to live an house in Ásbrú in the middle of nowhere in Iceland. The former military base has become their new temporary home and temporary protection has been given to them by the Icelandic state.They wonder is there even anything permanent in this place?
Ásbrú is a kind of transit point between the past and the future, a kind of portal. The people here either already lost everything or are at risk of losing everything. War, hunger, poverty, and political per -secution are some of the issues that most often lead people here. They try to find stability in a country where the ground can slip under your feet. Strangers finding each other and new meanings . And the director becomes our guide on this mysterious journey.
