Synopsis

Emigration through the eyes of children. The life stories of people who fled from their countries for economical reasons or because of various kinds of discrimination have been richly described. However, how does emigration influence the lives of those who have not fled voluntarily but were fully dependent on their parents? How are such crucial moments perceived by children who appeared in a foreign country out of the blue and not of their own accord? The transition to the new and unknown environment, usually an absolutely unexpected one, necessarily brings about traumas that must be overcome later. The sudden change in the lives of these children frequently led to long-term feelings of confusion and rootlessness. Ripped from the security of childhood, they were forced to grow up overnight. In the documentary, the children of emigrants are portrayed as victims of the regime their parents were fleeing from. This radical change has influenced their lives. How have they coped with it? How do they judge their parents who have exposed them to such situations? The documentary deals with egoism and forgiveness, the question of fault and responsibility of the parents and the society as well as with the ability to cope with such a past.
