The Emigrants

The Emigrants is a disturbing comedy about two desperate men locked in a fierce battle for survival and supremacy. On a lonely New Year’s Eve, forced by poverty to share a windowless basement apartment, they maintain an uneasy friendship. Having fled their homeland to escape a totalitarian regime, they are both “free” to live and achieve their dreams; but with little money and few options they spend their time fighting and maneuvering to control each other.
