Jonah
Inspired by the events of August 27th, 2015, when the Austrian police found the corpses of seventy-one refugees abandoned in a lorry parked on the side of the street in Burgenland State. It's pitch dark in the night and a lorry is trying to reach the Austrian border. A group of Syrian refugees is hidden in its interior. A woman tries to soothe a trembling child by narrating a fable of Jonah and the Whale: a story which is common to both the Jewish and the Islamic culture. They are both waiting to get into Austria.
