EIdorado draws inspiration from Academy Award® nominee Markus Imhoof’s (The
Boat is FulI, MoreThan Honey) personal childhood reIationship with a young ltalian girl
during the aftermath of World War lI. His Swiss famiIy took her in as a refugee, but she
was ultimately sent back to Italy. Imhoof delves into this Iife-changing experience of
personal loss, and highlights paraIIels with the today’s refugee crisis – the largest mass
dispIacement of people since WWlI. With extraordinary access, he takes audiences
through the ItaIian warships of Operation Mare Nostrum, refugee camps in Southern
ltaIy, and asyIum hearings with Swiss authorities, which reject refugees at all IeveIs.
What emerges is a stark picture of an absurd and inhuman process that fails to address
a human tragedy: a crisis caused by economic imbaIances turning the rich countries of
the North into the "Eldorado" that so many of the less fortunate try to reach at aIl costs.
