Thibault Demagna, a politician, goes to the house of a family of Albanian refugees living in Belgium where Oana, a nine-year-old girl, has been lethargic and non-communicative for months. Demagna's skepticism prompts him to investigate. He spends a day with the family in the company of a doctor, convinced that this story is an invention, a legend. He discovers the astonishing truth against his will.

What our screening reviewers said: “Made me think differently about refugees AND about the nature of trauma.”
