SYNOPSIS
“OH EUROPA!” The cry of the missing princess from ancient mythology still resonates today: King Agenor’s and Queen Telephassa’s daughter Europa was abducted, so they sent their other children to search for her, but none returned. TÒ SU interprets the founding myth of the European continent as a parable for the current realities of flight: Even those seeking Europe today risk their lives and must expect never to see their families again. In this multimedia documentary piece, five people with refugee experience use virtual reality to reconstruct their dangerous attempts to cross Europe’s external borders and share their vision of Europe.
