Approdiis the story of a group of refugees from Somalia, Sudan and Eritrea in Turin, Italy. They got all the documents to stay, they have the right to work and to have a "normal" life but the institutions do nothing for them. They had to squat a building and live without hot water, heating and with the food that volunteers bring in.

According to the EU regulation (Dublin regulation, 2003) asylum seekers have to stay in the first country where they landed and cannot move to a different country. They all would like to move to northern Europe but have to remain in Italy that doesn’t guarantee much to them. The “Dublin” system operates on the assumption that, as the asylum laws and practices of the EU States are based on the same common standards, they allow asylum seekers to enjoy similar levels of protection in all EU Member States. In reality, however, asylum legislation and practice still vary widely from country to country, causing asylum-seekers to receive different treatment across Europe. They basically wait in limbo, often separated from their families and in detention, pending transfer to the state deemed responsible for their claim. In many cases, their claims are never heard.
