REFUGIUM

Cristina Furlan, a newly transferred government official in southern Italy, faces a complex case among thousands of asylum requests. A young Libyan claims to be a shipwreck survivor and ex-soldier, fearing for his life if sent back. Though he seems sincere, his potential involvement in war crimes casts doubt. Under time pressure and mounting cases, Cristina must decide whether he is innocent or guilty, with lives hanging in the balance.
