Content
“A home for Lydia” – documents the every day life of a small girl who was born in the Netherlands, but lives there with her parents without a residence permit. Time and again the family has to move home. They live illegally, have no papers. Lydia’s mother is from Cameroon, her father from Nigeria. Both do not want to go back. For Lydia it is clear: she wants to stay in the Netherlands. This is her country. And she does not want to move again, move from school to school and always have to find new friends.

Excerpt from the jury’s statement
