East... dreams West (2008)

Afghanistan: The 21st century finds the country destroyed from the war and the drought. Many dream of a better life in the western world. And they set off... On the way to Europe they face the forces of Nature, illnesses, hunger, crooks and the harshness of the national authorities. Arriving in Greece a new "quality of life" awaits them in the refugee encampments in the countryside, in abandoned houses, in the city squares or in makeshift lodgings and if they find work maybe they can succeed in renting a house as a group. Plenty are awaiting for an opportunity to cross over once more... the borders to the West. For some though the biggest shortage is not material. Like Wais, they decide to return to their country to live with their families. Others like Hossain, choose to remain in Greece.
