During the height of Europe’s refugee crisis, two Syrian women give birth in the same Greek hospital. They share the same dream, to raise their children away from war. But their lives take an unexpected turn, as they navigate motherhood and marriage while seeking asylum. Follow along as they slowly move their way through the bureaucratic nightmare of being without a country to call home. Emmy nominated journalist Francesca Trianni’s revealing doc is an emotional ride through the small victories, the intimate joys, and the many setbacks of being a refugee.
