Name: 8th Continent
Duration: 11 min

On Lesvos island, an old abandoned dump lies on a mountain with two big craters. The craters are overflown by thousands of life jackets from the refugee waves. A worker is the only inhabitant of this uncanny place that resembles an alien planet or a new continent.
