Το πέρασμα

One winter night, on a small island in the southern Aegean with 120 permanent residents, a ship carrying more than three hundred refugees runs aground. Bad weather, bureaucracy, indifference and the practical helplessness of the authorities, first in the capital and then on the neighbouring Big island, delay the care, registration, checks and transfer of the newcomers, forcing the two communities to coexist for four days. The numbers and the pressure set their own rules, overturn roles and test both sides to the limit, putting their relations in serious danger. A story about the meeting of different worlds and the limits of humanitarianism.
