This film is part of the Identity On The Line (I-ON) project to explore the long-term consequences of different migration processes, forced or voluntary, which took place in Europe over the last 100 years.

In this film, we share the migration experience of the Crimean Tatar families of Lerane Khaybullayeva, Amet and Dilara Bekir. They emigrated from Crimea after its annexation by Russia and currently live in Lviv, in western Ukraine. Леране Хайбуллаева has opened a new coffee shop in Lviv, while the Amet Bekir family is engaged in children's educational projects. They still dream of returning to Crimea and not losing their identity.
