Hatam Shekerab is waiting for his asylum. Kamen Stoyanov accompanied Hatam Shekerab, the former resident of the first reception center in Traiskirchen, Austria, during his work in the "Garden of Encounter" and in his basic outfitted room. The future is reflected in his desires and fears. A bitter reality blurs between the activity in the garden and the prospects of his hopes, chances, dreams, and nightmares.
