JANO AND SHIRO 

Netherlands 2020. Director: Eefje Blanevoort, Els van Driel. 30 Min.

JANO AND SHIRO ARE INSEPARABLE. IN THE DUTCH ASYLUM SYSTEM, THEY ARE SUDDENLY WORLDS APART.  

The inse­pa­ra­ble brot­hers Shiro and Jano deci­de tog­e­ther to make an arduous escape from Syria to Europe. They are sepa­ra­ted, endu­re ter­ri­ble expe­ri­en­ces, and find their way back tog­e­ther — their cell pho­ne came­ra is always with them. Once they arri­ve in the Netherlands, the para­di­se they had hoped for looks dif­fe­rent than expec­ted: Shiro (15) finds sup­port as a minor. He is allo­wed to learn the lan­guage, make fri­ends and is inte­gra­ted. The adult Jano (18) has to go to a recep­ti­on cen­ter for adults, whe­re he has to wait wit­hout the pos­si­bi­li­ty of work. After one and a half years, the decis­i­on of the immi­gra­ti­on aut­ho­ri­ties final­ly arri­ves.
