Maria and Waldemar Nowak, a couple of officers from the Office for Foreigners, come with an unannounced visit to Lilianna and Édouard to examine whether their marriage is real or fake, serving only for the legalization of stay of Édouard, who is Algerian. The decision to grant the residence card to Édouard depends on the course of the visit. The visit tests relationships in both marriages, walks on a very thin line of the borders and ethics of officers’ examination, and explores the shades of racism.

ONE FIGHTING IRISHMAN is a 30-minute documentary narrated by actor George Takei focusing on the little-known story of civil rights attorney Wayne M. Collins who filed lawsuits on behalf of more than 5,500 detainees who renounced their U.S. citizenship while incarcerated at the embattled Tule Lake Segregation Center, considered the worst of the ten WWII detention centers. It will explore the issues that led to segregation and the unprecedented mass renunciations, and why it took more than 23 years to retrieve citizenship for nearly all of them, including George Takei’s mother.
