A Reason to Stay

Six stories; six intimate portraits of male and female immigrants seeking asylum in Slovakia. Daniela Krajčová has been dealing with the issue of social inclusion for a long time – based on participative activities, drawings and videos. She unfolds these stories in the form of animation, where she layers the character (their desires, hopelessness and loneliness) with the well-known urban (Bratislava) environment, creating a contrast between the inner and outer world with its façade being a difficult to overcome barrier with a complex bureaucratic system and prevailing distrust.
