....Synopsis....

Ozan (18) and Ramazan (19), two Kurdish youths, fled persecution in their homeland and came to Japan as elementary school students. Despite continuing to apply for refugee status, they remain on provisional release, an unstable situation that prevents them from working or pursuing an education freely. This documentary follows the two men for over five years as they continue to dream despite the fear of not knowing when they will be detained again by immigration authorities.

Date and Time	2025/12/ 6 (Saturday) Morning session: 10:00 start time Daytime session: 14:00 start time
