This is the story of one man's battle to get to his son, the longing for a dream, and its juxtaposition with the misery of the migrant situation. It tells of the human costs of political failings, rising nationalism, and the sheer scale of people seeking a better life. Stuck in the Calais Jungle for 16 months, we follow a father's journey through floods, fires, and increasing frustration at his estranged relationship with his boy, roller-coasting towards an apocalyptic exodus.
