Jahia's Summer
An impressive film about the friendship between resilient teenagers Jahia and Nèta, who live together in a refugee center in Belgium.
How do you cope with the unbearable uncertainty of waiting for a residence permit? For Jahia, an Eritrean girl, it means her life seems to be standing still, until she meets Nèta from Moldova. With her cheerful and quirky energy, Nèta slowly helps Jahia regain optimism about her future. This urgent film brings the daily reality of young people in an asylum center very close, allowing the audience to truly empathize with the characters. Jahia’s Summer is a realistic story about hope, dreams, and finding strength in the support of a friend.
