The migrant crisis of 2015 has shattered a once idealistic view of Northern Europe. What followed were images that shocked Europe to its core. Nightly riots, attacks on the police and infrastructure, waves of arson and looting, death threats and terrorist attacks. These attacks struck at the very foundations of free and open societies that media had praised so highly in Northern Europe. The wake of this violence has exposed these once venerated European societies as nations that are politically and culturally polarized with deeply rooted social problems and growing tensions among entrenched and increasingly partisan groups. This is the story of a Danish expatriate and his quest to uncover the stories behind headlines and the growing issues within European society, challenging the viewer with a vision of a Europe undergoing drastic and far reaching changes. It deals with the very personal journey of a son of Denmark attempting to understand how and why the Europe he left 12 years before, has become a socially, culturally, and politically distorted version of itself.
