Special flight

Director : Fernand Melgar

 

As they await deportation from Switzerland, a group of rejected asylum-seekers and overstayers languish in Frambois prison. In this detention centre the tension is rising day by day. Guards full of humanist good intentions on one side and men in the grip of fear and stress on the other. Relationships develop here – love and hate, respect and rebellion, until the deportation order arrives like a stab in the back. Those who refuse to leave are handcuffed, tied up and forced into the aircraft. Despair in this extreme situation is called ‘Special flight’.
