In a nameless Eastern European city, few young people, finds themself trapped between silent resistance and passive complicity as their country descends into war. The city’s streets, once familiar, become a landscape of fear. Shot in stark, observational style, Inner emigration is a haunting portrait of a generation suspended in stillness, forced to navigate a crumbling reality that no longer offers clear choices.
