The Wait

Mon De Kommer Om Natten

An Afghan girl and her family having been waiting four years for their asylum application to be processed. At the beginning of the film Rokhsar Sediqi is 14 years-old. She lives in Jylland with her mother, father, and five siblings. Four years ago Rokhsar and her family fled Afghanistan. After six months of trekking illegally across European borders, they ended up in Denmark. But the Danish Immigration Service questions whether they are in fact in danger of being persecuted by the Taliban in Afghanistan and has denied the family asylum several times.
