Emir, a family man, works for the local underworld as people smuggler between Serbia and Hungary. Hana, a young woman from Kosovo wants to flee her country and meets Emir to drive her. On the way, Emir’s unscrupulous colleagues order him to stop at a motel next to the border. They see in Hana the opportunity to gain money by delivering her to a prostitution ring. That night, Emir is faced with a moral dilemma and his own humanity as Hana will test her courage to change her life and make it to Europe.
Director
Born in Kosovo, Fisnik Maxhuni emigrated to Switzerland in 1993 and grew up in Neuchâtel. During his Bachelor studies in International Relations in Geneva, he started his first visual projects mixing up film, music and paint. After graduating from a Master in Geopolitics at King’s College London, during his stay in Japan (2012), Indonesia (2013), Argentina and Bolivia (2014), he wrote and shot several films. In every project, he tries to cross the paths of fiction, documentary and experimental film.
