Synopsis

While awaiting deportation from Switzerland, men are jailed at the administrative detention center Frambois. Some have spent years in Switzerland, worked, paid taxes and started a family, but their requests for asylum have failed. Although incarceration may last up to 24 months, deportation is announced without warning and its enforcement is imminent. Behind prison doors, tension builds day by day. Relations of friendship and hate, respect and revolt are formed until the deportation is announced. This relationship ends mostly in distress and humiliation. Those who refuse to leave are handcuffed and forcibly put on a plane.
