Plot summary

Stockholm 2013. Filmmaker Sophie Vuković runs into a long-lost friend at a demonstration against the growing racism in Sweden. The meeting stirs up memories and feelings that take her on an exploration of her own story of migration and what it means to belong in a globalized world. Told through personal and collective stories from former Yugoslavia via Australia to Sweden today, and blending intimate documentary footage and home videos with fiction, we follow the narrator in a cinematic essay on migration’s psychological mechanisms. A film about rootlessness and feeling nostalgic for something you never experienced. About friendship and how you build new forms of belonging that are not defined by national borders.
