Mister L.

Thomas Stokmans

After a solo Asian traveller loses his belongings and gets mistaken for an asylum seeker, he connects with the refugees in the asylum centre and figures out what he truly needs in life.

When an Asian solo traveler loses his belongings and his group while on vacation in the Netherlands, he is mistaken for an asylum seeker. He ends up in a temporary asylum centre on a big cruise ship in Amsterdam, where he connects with the residents and staff, despite the fact that he can only communicate non-verbally. This hybrid film is made with non-actors and refugees who play themselves and is inspired by a true story.
