They call it „The Game“ but it is a life-threa­tening endea­vor. Alone or as a group, ado­le­s­cents try to reach the EU through the Balcan rou­te. They sleep under motor­way bridges, tra­ver­se raging rivers at sub-zero tem­pe­ra­tures at night and hide in trains and trucks. It is an Odyssey which they docu­ment on TikTok and Instagram. Over WhatsApp they keep in cont­act with their fami­lies. If the bor­der poli­ce cat­ches the minors, they have to expect mistre­at­ments and ille­gal push­backs. Their mobi­le pho­nes beco­me film came­ras and show us clo­se-up that the fort­ress Europe does not want them. But a return to their home count­ries is no option.
