This documentary follows the lives of three unaccompanied minor refugees—from Afghanistan, Palestine/Syria, and Burundi—who find solidarity at a shelter in Greece. Filmed over four years, it captures their mental fortitude, their outlook on life, and their struggle to pursue their dreams. Told through the lens of Christina Vazou, a photographer and hospitality center worker, the film offers an intimate and honest perspective beyond the label of "refugee," revealing universal truths that connect us all. Despite their different backgrounds, the three teenagers share a common goal: to overcome hardship and emerge victorious. A moving coming-of-age story, full of wisdom and inner strength.
