Synopsis

Admir is from Bosnia.
He arrived in Switzerland with his family at the age of 10, as an asylum seeker.
In Switzerland, as in his homeland, violence is what he knows best.
Violence he endures and violence he inflicts.
As he awaits his deportation from Switzerland, he shares his life story with us, in an effort to leave a permanent mark before he leaves.
Admir is 20 years old.
