In a classroom in Sicily, just inside the walls of Fortress Europe, recently arrived refugees receive lessons from a teacher who has some rather unbalanced traits. One moment he
mercilessly rejects the refugees – the next, mollifyingly, he embraces them. Operating at the intersection of documentary and fiction, Stranger in Paradise investigates the power relations
between Europe and refugees.

The screening of Stranger in Paradise is followed by a discussion with Lea Portmann and Mia Gandenberger and moderated by Christina Mittmasser and Lisa Marie Borrelli.
