    • Synopsis
    • Within a few months, Kutupalong refugee camp has become the largest in the world. In August 2017, 700,000 people of the Rohingya Muslim minority fled Myanmar to escape genocide and seek asylum in Bangladesh. Prisoners of a major humanitarian crisis, Kalam, Mohammad, Montas and other exiles want to make their voice heard. Between nightmares, food distribution and soccer games, they testify to their daily realities and the ghosts of their past memories. Around them, the specter of disappearance, of perpetual wandering. In this place almost out of space and time, is it still possible to exist?
