The State of The Migrant

In the near future, wars have devastated civilization on Earth, eradicating the concepts of countries and national borders. The remaining human beings are left without a fixed place to live. In this post-apocalyptic time, an anonymous young girl decides to adopt a nomadic lifestyle, striving to survive day after day.

The State of The Migrant is a fictional film that reframes my personal experience of being a migrant. Mobility becomes the hope for an improved life, yet intermittent movements constantly disrupt the life that was just beginning to take shape. Leaving behind an address, a city, or a country without a clear understanding of the reasons why. From the outside, it may appear that the train of life keeps moving, but it is heading towards a destination called hopelessness.
