When Europe’s Moria refugee camp burns to the ground, two friends from Aleppo choose to stay in the ruins and survive by scavenging metal in the apocalyptic world left by the fire.

In 2014, after Crimea was annexed into the Russian Federation, the country authorities began a genocide against the peninsula’s indigenous people, the Crimean Tatars. Many men were arrested and convicted in trumped-up terrorism cases. Women whose husbands and sons were imprisoned fight for justice, and their children have to become adults ahead of time. Grief unites the entire nation, but every year the authorities arrest more and more Crimean Tatars.
