Description:
In Sweden, a deeply affecting issue has arisen among young refugee children who have experienced severe trauma and been forced from their homes. They are diagnosed with "Resignation Syndrome," a condition where these strong but fragile children enter a prolonged state of near-unconsciousness, withdrawing from the world for months or even years. With deportation approaching, the children struggle to adapt to their new lives, their minds and bodies reacting to their experiences in this unique way. The film explores the difficult realities of their lives, presenting a direct look at human strength and the lasting effects of trauma.
