Their arrival in Germany is not exactly a warm welcome: Asylum seekers in Brandenburg are first brought to the initial registration center in Eisenhüttenstadt. Also Wasim from Syria, Mathew from Kenya and Gedeon from Cameroon are stranded at this surreal place in the outskirts of nowhere. THE INVISIBLES follows the three men on their way through the official proceedings, the mills of detecting and decision making. A snapshot of a life on hold, between hope and uncertainty.
