Dublin, June 2024: thousands of men seeking asylum in Ireland are homeless. Olivia and her group of volunteers are trying to find safe locations where the men can sleep each night, but the government is actively enforcing its new policy against homeless encampments, and the far-right are lurking.
The film is a follow-up to the multi award-winning The Building and Burning of a Refugee Camp (IDFA, 2024), which depicts the effects of a similar policy in 2023, when an encampment built by homeless asylum seekers in Dublin was burned down by a far-right mob.
