STAY WITH ME

Screenplay

The film is based on a true story: in 2021, a van carrying migrants was chased by police near the southern border, crashed into a pole and then a tree. Neither the driver, who was working with the smugglers, nor the African refugees crammed into the cargo hold survived the collision. But it emerged at the scene that someone in the front passenger seat may have been thrown out of the bouncing windscreen, survived and fled on foot. We also know it was a pregnant African woman who survived.
