Swimming With Wings

Chocolate and Milk. Grandparents and aunt. Beaches and sun. What do the children of immigrants who have come from different parts of the world to Western Europe miss most? What pitfalls and surprises await them here? And do we even think about how this experience affects children? Through a group of penguins and real-life testimonies, the short animated documentary poetically presents the everyday problems of the newly arrived children, such as the need to learn to swim in their clothes because of the possibility of falling into the Dutch canals.
