The seas are filled with migrants risking their lives on perilous crossings; Europe is engulfed by xenophobia and fear. In the cities and towns,in the schools and shops,strange children are starting to appear: enigmatic and unnerving,they disappear like ghosts,causing uproar.Amid mounting paranoia,Khaled,a young teenager from a war-torn Middle Eastern country,by chance meets Karolina in a discount store in Brussels. She buys him a red suitcase,and they part ways: Karolina to both mourn and search for her missing son,whose laptop betrays his entanglement with extremist groups; Khaled to head south,against the flow of other refugees - travelling with urgent intent,desperately protecting the contents of his suitcase.At once a ghost story,a morality tale and a quest narrative,From Another World is a striking reflection on loss,grief and the struggle to brave love in a world seized by fury.
