Transit Passenger
Journey and Reunion
Egor, in his late 20s, prepares to embark on a whirlwind journey that will see him traveling halfway across the world to see his family for the first time in over 23 years, including a reunion with his estranged Father Alik that his Mother Alena did her best to take him away from. She practically kidnaps Egor from Alik all those years ago.
Childhood Memories
Seated on the plane as it prepares to take off, Egor begins to reminiscence his childhood. From the day he was born in Soviet Ukraine, a big family surrounded him.
Family Struggles and Refugee Journey
Along the way, he and other family members from his mother's side recount their struggles in fleeing the former USSR as refugees, after the Chernobyl catastrophe struck in 1986. Constantly in transit, Egor's family have found themselves at the most turbulent time in history—the late 1980s—as the family goes through refugee processes in Austria, next in Italy, where they face hardships, and on the way injustice.
New Life in Australia
After almost a year of being in constant transit, Egor's family finally arrive in Australia. There, in a foreign land—down under—Egor and his family have started a new life from scratch.
