DON’T COME HOME THIS YEAR is a short film about Roman­ian migrants return­ing home from Italy during the Covid-19 pan­dem­ic and get­ting stuck at the Aus­tri­an-Hun­gar­i­an border. The film is mix­ture of provoca­tive video mate­r­i­al: The strand­ed send out videos about their sit­u­a­tion from their smart­phones to which migrants who remained in Italy and Roma­ni­ans at home react by send­ing back their opin­ion. The film unfolds a semi­otic dis­course within the stress field of the pan­dem­ic on migrant work­ers, patri­o­tism and virus trans­mis­sion. A fast and emo­tion­al reflec­tion on a real life frag­ment of the pan­dem­ic and on our use of social media.
