German churches have offered refugees church asylum for more than 40 years, a practice with no legal standing that German authorities are increasingly challenging. The film follows Anja, a free-church pastor in Bremen who shelters congregants facing deportation, and shows the daily mechanics of that work: securing food, arranging language lessons, and negotiating with officials while trying to stay within the law. Bremen registered 200 of the roughly 2,400 church asylum cases nationwide in 2024, and the film centers on a scandal from last Advent, when the Bremen Migration Office sent police to remove a 25-year-old Somali man from the Zion Community Center for deportation to Finland. A chain of protesters blocked officers from entering, triggering public controversy and anger from authorities. Interviews with people currently in church asylum, and with others who received it in the past and remain tied to their congregations, fill out the picture of what the arrangement actually costs a community willing to house and support someone for months at a time.
