Flyplassmannen

Storyline

Stateless Arlen Khadaa lives at an airport in Kyrgyzstan. Without papers, he can neither enter nor leave the country. He lives on airport food, brushes his teeth and washes his clothes in the public toilet, and sleeps on the benches in the waiting hall. For almost two years this has been his life. His family lives in Norway; mother, siblings, wife and two children. It was a failed deportation from Norway that separated them. Arlen feels abandoned by the Norwegian authorities, but the family fights to get him home.
