In the Netherlands, the integration process for refugees is called a "Customer Journey." Refugees are seen as customers, guided through an endless chain of forms, rules, and institutions: a system designed for efficiency but experienced as a labyrinth.

Around them, civil servants, volunteers, and social workers do their best to help, often in humorous and touching ways, yet hopes frequently collide with procedures. The film reveals a world where bureaucracy meets good intentions, where dreams are tested by rules, and after navigating it all, have the hopes that brought you here been realized?

Ballet in three acts (1994) Encore Screenings! ‘What has become of love today?’ asked Angelin Preljocaj in 1994, when he created Le Parc for the Paris Opera Ballet. Thirty years later, the world has changed again, but his timeless ballet has travelled around the world. In a French-style garden, the choreography draws us into the seduction games of the Grand Siècle and the Age of Enlightenment, appealing to our classical musical and literary imagination: famous works by Mozart, the Map of Tendre, Dangerous Liaisons. But Preljocaj breaks with tradition by introducing a contemporary soundtrack and a choreographic language composed of broken lines and sensual movements. Like the final pas de deux, where the bodies whirl around for a languorous kiss: a moment of grace that has become the signature of this ballet.
