Hidden from the eyes of the public, more than 1200 men live in big halls at the old train station in Belgrade, Serbia. Most of them are from Pakistan and Afghanistan and they ran from home because of political problems or just to seek for a better life. Peace. Please. is about their life in Belgrade in the middle of an awful winter, when they struggled with cold, snow and devastating circumstances even though they were laughing most of the time. They are human after all, men, boys with big and brave hearts, with names, life, mother and father, they left sisters and brothers behind at home. They want nothing but a better life and peace for themselves and for the world. We feel people should know this better.
