Three refugees are asked questions concerning their life, (plans), and reasons for (their choices). Through the use of found footage, and gameplay, the film tries to communicate the feelings of the displaced, and the absurdity of such questions. A parody of misinformation, and an exploration of feelings of confusion, disorientation, and uncertainty, drawing from the personal memory of the filmmaker.
