Two men held at Australia's Manus Island Offshore Processing Centre tell their own stories by phone, recorded by director Lukas Schrank after he made contact with them in October 2014. Their voices carry the film, and animation renders what the camera cannot reach: the route from Jakarta, the ocean crossing, and the fenced compound where they are confined. Rather than narrating over their testimony, Schrank builds each scene around the men's own words, following their memories of the journey out of their home countries into the routine of life behind wire on Manus. The film gives a face and a name to a policy usually discussed in numbers, noting that roughly 2,000 people were held in Australia's offshore centers at the time. The animation style shifts between plain documentary reconstruction and something closer to nightmare imagery when the men describe fear and isolation inside the facility. Short and spare, the film relies on two testimonies to represent a system that keeps journalists and cameras out, making animation the only way in.
