Shadow Game plot
"Journey trough the dark side of Europe"
Shadow Game is a coming of age story, an adventurous journey through Europe with teenagers as our guides. In this mosaic narrative, the experiences of young refugees are fused into a universal story. Will they overcome all obstacles and find a new home? For three years, directors Eefje Blankevoort and Els van Driel followed various young people on their journey through Europe: from Greece to Serbia and from Bosnia and Herzegovina to Italy and the Netherlands. The teens traverse snowy landscapes and minefields, encountering aggressive border police along the way. Reaching the final destination is harder than ever. Some of the material was filmed on their phones by the boys themselves.
