On The Move

On The Move follows three visual artists in exile as they utilize poetry, therapy sessions and dreams to remain emotionally connected to their destroyed home countries. As the film progresses, a kaleidoscopic view of displacement emerges, drawing similarities and contrasts on the emotional burden of its protagonists through the eyes of movement itself.
