PLOT:
They all have traveled far; by plane, train, bus or boat. Now they find themselves in the integration class of teacher Christian Zingg in Basel, where young people from all over the world get to know the language and culture of the country over the course of two years. One of them is 19-year-old Ehsanullah from Afghanistan, who crossed the sea in a dinghy and the mountains by foot; or the Albanian siblings Nazlije and Ismail, who left their homeland for family reasons and now live with their father and his new wife.
"Neuland" (New Land) is a documentary about young migrants during their two-year schooling in an integration class in Basel.
