Refugee - Copy

A group of people faces a harrowing journey as they attempt to escape their homeland for a better future. Despite the dire conditions in their country, some are reluctant to leave, believing that the situation might not improve elsewhere.

Refugee - Copy

And the tanker leaves. As Señor Castillo recovers, Amara is the new captain. The passengers fall asleep, but are awaken as the boat shakes in the waves. Lito soon realizes that, "red sky at morning, sailors take warning", that a storm is coming soon.

The Bishara family are drowning. Mahmoud is trying to keep his mother and Hana above water, while his father is holding up Waleed. Mahmoud found a dinghy and tried to ask them to let him and his family on. They refuse, and they try to pry Mahmoud's fingers off. Eventually, he convinces them to take Hana. They take her, and now she, Waleed, and Youssef are gone.

Sitting in the cart labeled for Jews. Josef decided to leave and head to the German cart to buy a newspaper. He hides his armband with the Star of David and buys it, but when he takes out another coin to buy a piece of candy for Ruth, the armband slips out and he gets caught by a member of the Hitler Youth.

when Isabel started remembering her grandmother, who drowned from a large cyclone. Isabel thinks of her life like a symphony, reminiscing on her Lita.

Allowed to be let in, despite the fact that the St Louis had arrived before them. Then, Schiendick came and searched Josef's cabin, and threatened to put Aaron back in a camp.

And Mahmoud throws a tantrum. Upset, they go back to the mall to sleep, Two Turkish men say they can't sleep there unless they start paying rent. They refuse and try to sleep somewhere else, only to be yelled at by police. Mahmoud decides to go on the street and beg for a place to stay. They meet Samih Nasseer, who offers to take them. Youssef gets a text that the boat is there, Samih drives them to the spot, and this time, the boat arrived,

They take this opportunity to row to Miami's shore. Mami is giving birth during this time. The coast guard ship eventually notices them due to Mami's wails.

A missile had launched into their apartment, destroying the entire outside wall

Isabel heard glass breaking, and saw that Havana was breaking into chaos, with people shouting and protesting against Fidel Castro.

As they drive with them, the soldiers warn them of Daesh, Kurds, airstrikes, etc, before they start getting shot at. One of the soldiers gets shot and dies. The rest of the soldiers leave the car and shoot back. The Bisharas run, with just their phones, and left their car.

The people on the ship treat everyone there like people. Nobody is wearing their armbands because everyone is Jewish. While his parents stay in their cabins, Josef and Ruth meet sisters Renata and Evelyne, and play pranks with them around the ship.

Josef's father was arrested for practicing law when Jews weren't allowed to, and sent to a concentration camp

Mahmoud realizes that being visible and being invisible both have their risks. He needs to be visible right now. He walks past the Hungarian soldier guarding the door and leaves, deciding to walk to Austria. Waleed and the other children join him.

so they had a funeral at sea. Schiendick believed that they needed to follow German law and place the Nazi flag onto the body. Aaron got angry and spat on the ground Schiendick walked on.

The Landau's were assigned to France. They live in Le Mans. Josef and Ruth are in school again, and Rachel got a job doing laundry. Eight months later, Germany invades France, and they're on the run again.

The Nazis catch up to them and ask for their papers. When they found out they're Jewish, they say they'll be sent to concentration camps. Rachel tries to give the soldier money and diamond earrings for freedom. The soldier says she has enough for one of her kids to be freed and makes her choose.

And need a place to sleep. They go to a hotel and are denied, so they go to a park, where they met a Syrian boy willing to take them to a place to sleep for 10 American dollars. He tries to sell them life vests as well.

and they decide to swim for it. Everyone except Isabel, papi, and mami. Suddenly, Senor Castillo takes Isabel out of the boat. Everyone helps carry the boat to the shore. Mami gives birth and papi names him after Lito. The passengers finally reached Miami.

While the rest of the passengers are bailing water, Isabel decides to kick off the engine to get rid of some weight. Amara notices and helps her. After kicking it off, they hear a siren, and someone speaking through a megaphone, saying that they are an American Coast Guard ship and to prepare to be boarded.

Riots broke out in Syria, which led to a civil war. The ruler, Al-Assad, sent his soldiers, bombs, and tanks against his own people.

Ivan mentions naming the boat. They take turns, choosing names, before suddenly, a shark comes to their ship. Isabel escapes in time, while Ivan wasn't so lucky. In anger, Luis shoots at the ocean, which draws in more sharks, surrounding them.

Due to the Soviet Unions support leaving. Cuba is ruled by an abusive leader, Fidel Castro, who would kill his people if they tried to speak against him, or arrest them if they tried to leave, especially to the States.

Mahmoud and his family walk through the country and reach the train, before realizing it isn't there. A taxi stops them and tells them that he'll take them to Serbia. They agree, and once they reach, they're approached by another taxi that offers a trip to the Hungarian border. They agree, and the fall asleep in the taxi. When Mahmoud wakes up, the taxi driver is holding a gun to them.

Mahmoud, his brother, and another man are praying. While praying, Mahmoud realizes that when he and the other refugees are visible, they're noticed. He debates whether he should be visible in Europe or not. In Athens, Mahmoud and his family have to wait up to a week for official documents. Mahmoud's father says they can't wait up to a week, and tells them that they're going to sneak to the Macedonian border.

Afterwards, Renata and Evelyne were playing pranks and Josef decided to be responsible and tell the stewarts on them. As he went to see them, he overheard them saying that if they don't make it to Cuba before the other ships, then the passengers wouldn't be allowed to live in Cuba.

And they get out of the car. They walk the rest of the way to a bus stop and get to Horgoš to get to the Hungarian border. When they get there, they realize that they can't get in because the Hungarians were building a fence to close their border. The other refugees start surrounding the border, begging to be let in. The Hungarian soldiers fire tear gas into the crowd.

Although they are leaving the same day to meet with a smuggler to get into the EU. Youssef is looking for the rest of his family to get onto their ride.

The passengers were rioting, as they weren't allowed into Cuba. and because the ship had started moving. Captain Schroeder comes out and calls for calm, before explaining that the president wouldn't see them, and they had to leave Havana Harbor immediately and try their luck with the States. Josef has to leave his father in Cuba.

Where they get taken below-deck, where they realize that above-deck is a different world than below-deck, one where they were treated like people. Below-deck, it was the real world, where hate followed them everywhere.

Although Aaron has been traumatized in the concentration camp, which makes the Landau's, especially the children, very uneasy.

They take hostages and threaten Captain Schroeder if he takes them to Germany. Captain Schroeder calmly resolves the situation and promises to take them to England as long as they promise not to rebel again. Everyone agrees, but Josef is still unwilling to go back to Europe.

As they had reached Cuba. A doctor wants to do a medical examination on everyone, even after the captain swore oath that everyone was healthy, mentally and physically. Josef is scared that Aaron, his father, is too mentally unstable for the doctor, and that they would be rejected from Cuba, so he decides to slap Aaron and convince him that if he doesn't stay quiet, he will be sent back to Dachau.. Aaron follows the instructions, and everyone passes the medical check, but are still denied access to to Havana, they are rejected and just told "Mañana.", or tomorrow.

Isabel and the Castillo's are somber. Lito says they need to do something with the body, and everyone agrees to throw it overboard. Afterwards, Isabel searches for Ivan's industriales cap. As she takes it, Senor Castillo tells her his wish for the States, to open a restaurant with his sons. Isabel looks at the horizon, and notices Miami.

which is stressing the boats passengers. The Castillos and Papi start arguing amongst each other, before Amara resolves it. Papi suggested that two people at a time hop of the boat and cling onto it in the water to bring the weight down.

Which was actually a small dinghy. Many other Syrian refugees are on the ships with them. It's a very tight fit, but the Bisharas are happy nonetheless. Nature is merciless, it starts raining and the dinghy fills with water. Suddenly, someone shouts that they see rocks, and the dinghy hits them and the passengers and pushed into the ocean.

They're greeted with Austrians giving food, water, clean clothes, etc to the refugees. The Bisharas take a train to Vienna, then to Munich, Germany. The response is the same as from Austria, but bigger, with people giving fresh fruit and veggies and candies for the children. When asked if they were seeking refuge in Germany, Mahmoud's father replies, "Yes, a million times yes.".

Youssef Bishara came home to find his house had exploded. He takes his family to leave Syria, his plan is to drive to Turkey, sell the car, then head north to Germany. The rest of his family are hesitant, but they have no other choice.

they agreed on starting the engine and racing away. As they did, the waves swallowed the boat, and Señor Castillo fell overboard. Isabel remembers her grandmother, who died from drowning, and she swam after him.

The officers were on suicide watch, patrolling the deck. Officer Padron talked to the Landaus, comforting mom and playing games with Ruthie.

They were happily talking, imagining what the States will be like, and singing and dancing. As they were, suddenly, the motor on the boat had died.

But they aren't allowed to enter, if they touch Bahamian soil. they will be deported. Mami is sick and Lito wants her to get help in The Bahamas, but Mami refuses. The tourists hear what's going on, and they buy food and water for everyone from the cafe, and an old white lady gives Mami aspirin. Despite these kind acts, they're still sad, they're farther from Miami than ever before.

After she let Hana be taken away on the boat. As she cries, Mahmoud is trying to keep the both of them afloat. He eventually sees a dead man in a blue life jacket. He's scared it's his father, but is relieved to find out it was a stranger. He recites a funeral prayer and takes the life jacket from him. He puts in on his mother to keep her afloat.

Most of the adults are somber, except for Josef's mother. She dances alone in the dancehall, asking Josef to waltz with her. The two of them get called to the social hall, where they're told the boat is returning to Europe. Outraged, Ponzer goes to Josef to ask for help to reach the bridge to hold hostages and convince the captain to dock in America.

and comes to a realization. He wants a manana for Isabel, and everyone else on the boat. He jumps into the water and pretends to drown to distract the ship. Everyone, except Isabel, continue to row, knowing the Coast Guard ship will go for Lito first.

and a Cuban policeman jumped after him to save him. Aaron didn't want to be saved, he wants to die and escape the policeman. He had officially gone mad. Josef is worrying if they'd be let into Cuba now.

and Waleed and Youssef were in the ship as well. The ship drops them off at the island of Lesbos after saving other refugees. There were piles of lifejackets and dead bodies on the shore. There was a baby. Fatima runs to the baby and cries, thinking it's Hana, although it wasn't her. Youssef tells Mahmoud to look for any bodies with shoes in our size.

Which encourages Geraldo to leave. Isabel doesn't want him to leave, at least without her and her family. She tries to find ways to get a boat and gas for all of them to leave together.

He was barricading the door and talking to himself. Rachel decides to take Ruth to the pool and get a sleeping draught for Aaron. She lies to the doctor and says it's for herself. The doctor makes her take it in front of him and she falls sleep one she enters the cabin. Josef goes to find Ruth and bring her back, but when he returns, Aaron is gone. Josef searches for him, and finds out her jumped off the ship.

Until Luis and his girlfriend came with them, which caused the police, who were resting on the shore, to start shooting at them and coming after them. One of the bullets struck the boat, causing water to pour into it.

Him, his family, and the other refugees are sent to an immigrant detention center. They are told to be processed. When Mahmoud's father disobeys, he is beat by the soldiers. A policeman fills out a form for them. Mahmoud becomes invisible again, knowing that'll stop him from facing the soldiers wrath.

And how he believes they should've all stayed, and that even if nothing gets better in Cuba, nothing will be better in the States. He wants to stay in his homeland. Suddenly, a tanker is heading towards their boat
