(English)

They come from another world with the hope for a better life. The dream, affected by the media, for which they risk everything. They don't speak a single word of the foreign language and try to take fate in their own hands in the Netherlands. In conversations / Interviews four indonesian migrants deliver insights of their life, their fears and dreams. Exactly this context of life in illegality is picked up and individualized. The Indonesians talk about unconstitutional working conditions, the circumstances that brought them to the Netherlands and their families. In the process the pressure is revealed that lasts on the migrants- on one hand they feel responsible for their families, which hope for some money from their sons in Europe, and on the other hand they are confronted with the difficulties of finding a job in spite of a lacking education.
