The film presents the annual celebration of the emigrants from Bangladesh. The emigrants mark the neighborhoods and all places or spaces they live around. The places of social, religious and cultural events bridge-as transitional places- the differences that part them with the new location. The speeches, the music and the dances create a network of communication with their homeland; while in the same time create a sense of belonging in the foreign town of Athens. The natural sound of the event was kept through out the whole film.
