    The film invites you to STEREO AKT's theatre walk in the former tobacco factory building on Kőbányai road, where the site's little-known past is revealed with a team of actors, singers and migrant participants.

    STEREO AKT has been joined by Irini and Perisztera, whose family, fleeing the civil war, found refuge in the closed world of the Greek colony on Kőbánya Road. Also joined by Abouzar and his son Armin, the last witnesses to the world of the transit zones on the southern border in Hungary. Stories of refugees in radically different historical and political contexts, only the host country is the same in both cases: Hungary in the late 1940s and today.
