IT COULD BE SO BEAUTIFUL, BUT HOW LONG WILL RAMIN AND HIS FAMILY BE ALLOWED TO STAY IN THEIR NEW HOME COUNTRY?

A see­mingly per­fect sum­mer: 13-year-old Ramin roams the woods with his fri­end Jigi. They go swim­ming and to par­ties. Besides the­re is also this girl who gives Ramin but­ter­flies in his sto­mach. But then his family’s asyl­um appli­ca­ti­on is rejec­ted by the Finnish aut­ho­ri­ties – what now? Does his fami­ly have to go back to Iran and lea­ve Finland fore­ver? Full of warmth and humor, ANY DAY NOW nar­ra­tes the fate of a refu­gee fami­ly that grows on you and stands as an exam­p­le for many other peo­p­le who have to find a new home.
