“Five Fingers No Same,” tells the story of young people from Pakistan and Morocco that have left their homes to follow a European Dream. They are momentarily stuck in Bosnia, each living similar yet completely different journeys.
The film begins at the Central Station of Tuzla, Bosnia. In between Serbia and Croatia it is a momentary dead end for numerous migrants and people on the run. Faisal dares to go – as they call it – “to game” once again, attempting to enter the EU without documents to seek asylum. For Saim, Tuzla slowly becomes home after four years and 4,000 kilometers on the run. Aziz isn’t so lucky, he sleeps in empty houses and plans his next route. The former industrial town of Tuzla has now become a refuge from border violence, broken dreams and loneliness.
This story sheds light on the many lives whose circumstances forbid a true arrival. It is about the people who, in spite of everything, never lose hope.
