ON ATTEND — short film
When the young African girl Camille tries to cross the border in order to find her family,
she gets stuck in a cyclical no man's land at the border control as she has to take a shower each time she applies for a new passport.
ON ATTEND is a conceptual approach to the bureaucracy and the hopelessness of undocumented refugees.
