Actually we wanted to make a different film, but due to certain circumstances and a law change, we were not allowed to continue our journey and got stuck in Helsinki. Sara was reminded of many similar situations in her life, where she got rejected and was not allowed certain things so we decided to sum up some examples and combine documentation and animation as an excerpt and sample which stands for so many BIPOC people and their experiences.
