about the film

Immigration to Nowhere is a black and white filmic journey accompanied by a philosophical poem, written and pronounced in Norwegian language. The poem opens a story of a person facing the feeling of emptiness, while going through immigration adaptation. In a broader sense the film touches an immense issue of today’s traumatic world transformation caused by a gap between technological progress and human development. Where are we all going?
