More than 200,000 people in Germany are legally required to leave the country, but only a small fraction are actually deported. Reporter Olaf Sundermeyer spends months embedded with a team from the Central Aliens' Authority of the State of Brandenburg, filming the daily friction between courts, police, and regional bureaucracy that stalls removals. The film follows two contested cases in depth, a Chechen and a Syrian national, both with criminal records and both ordered deported despite legal and logistical obstacles blocking the process. Some countries simply refuse to take back their citizens, some lack the paperwork to confirm identity, and active war zones like Syria and Afghanistan trigger automatic suspensions of removal. Interviews with officials, activists, and the men themselves lay out why humanitarian protections, health conditions, and family ties keep many people in the country despite deportation orders. The documentary treats the system's dysfunction as structural rather than a simple failure of will, showing why politicians' promises on the issue rarely match what the law and logistics allow.
