Without a country, struggling to integrate in Belgium for the past eight years, Tania, an illegal immigrant from Belarus denied of a political asylum and her thirteen-year-old son Ivan, live in constant fear, dreading the cold and blind inevitability of an unexpected police check. And then sadly, Tania's dreams of a better life will shatter to pieces when two immigration officers will arrest and send her to a detention facility, separating cruelly the mother from the son. Under those circumstances, incarcerated and in-between worlds, desperate Tania will attempt to protect her son, but how is that possible when she too is facing deportation?—Nick Riganas
