WINTER IN EUROPE (F/F) (2019) 

Synopsis

The first feature from Spanish director Polo Menárgue, Winter in Europe documents the heart-breaking situation of Afghan migrants who are trying to cross the Hungarian border in order to enter the European Union. In the centre of Belgrade, Serbia, behind the old train station, hundreds of migrants hide among the train tracks, forests, and abandoned factories, where temperatures are well below freezing. In this apocalyptic landscape, warmed by toxic bonfires, we meet Asif, Said and Ahbar, three men who are waiting to complete the seemingly impossible task of crossing the border.
