Description
Four refugees - an Afghan, a Turkish Kurd and two Somali women - are huddled in a container lorry crossing Europe. They are joined in Milan by Mariam, pregnant and unable to pay the increasingly high sums of money demanded by the Agent. She is taken away to bargain with the (always unseen) Driver. She doesn't return - and we leave the others still wondering whether they will ever arrive.
