Nila is interviewed by an immigration officer in Canada. This marks the beginning of her immigrant journey. She calmly answers the questions, but a chaos of fear and confusion shocks her inner world. A year later, the questions continue on other people’s lips and faces. The last question: “Was it worth it?” prompts Nila to break the fourth wall and look into the camera; the answer is no longer hers alone, but that of whoever is behind the screen.
