After Camp Moria on Lesbos burned down in September 2020, six refugees were held responsible for its destruction in a questionable trial. The focus of the documentary is the exchange of letters between Hassan, one of the six convicted teenagers, and the director. In his letters, Hassan talks about his day-to-day life, his longings, and fears. The film uses the controversial conviction as a cause to shine a particular light on the new European refugee policy and the accompanying structural marginalisation.
