This static but yet essential documentary concerns Berlin’s historic, but now defunct, Tempelhof Airport, which remains a place of arrivals and departures.

Today its massive hangers are used to house Germany’s largest emergency shelter for asylum seekers, among them 18-year-old Ibrahim from Syria.

As Ibrahim adjusts to his transitory daily life of social services interviews, German lessons and medical exams, he tries to cope with homesickness and the anxiety of whether he will gain residency or be deported.
