A lonely man limps down the road. A truck approaches him. Several armed men jump out. They grab the limping man and take him behind barbed wire. But other men with guns are waiting there and they drive him back. Since 2021, similar situations are quite common on the Polish-Belarusian border. The place, which is also the border of the European Union, is still the scene of a humanitarian disaster. The short documentary is animated in simple line drawings, but it presents the daily suffering in a harrowingly realistic way.
