Indonesia adalah tanah airku. Di sana, aku lahir. Apapun akan kulakukan untuk melindungi tempat di mana aku lahir. Tapi mereka mengeyahkanku dari tanahku sendiri.

During the 1965 mass killings to eliminate the Indonesian Communist Party, the new regime banned scholars in the Soviet Union and China, forcing them into exile across Europe. This documentary follows those displaced individuals as they navigate the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Sweden, Germany, and Indonesia, reflecting on the traumatic events that uprooted their lives.
