In 2016, a refugee camp near Calais was dismantled and its inhabitants began camping in the surroundings. Punctuated by constant blackouts, a series of moving images filmed with a handheld camera screened against a precarious, artificial landscape of swollen trees, tents, ropes, clothes and rubbish, 15 days is an affecting meditation on the loneliness, uncertainty and pain experienced by beings denied an identity, forced into a limbo between life and death.
