Kenedi, Lost and Found

After taking part in the filming of Kenedi Goes Back Home, Kenedi Hasani decided to travel illegally to the EU countries where his father, mother, brothers and sisters are still living. During one of his illegal crossings of the Hungarian-Austrian border in 2003, he is captured by the border police and spends a couple of months in a refugee camp. Then he manages to escape to Austria and then to Germany and Holland. The film crew meets him in Vienna, in January 2005, at a screening of Kenedi Returns Home at the University. The documentary recounts Kenedi’s experience as a refugee. The crew witnesses his return to Serbia. The protagonist decides to build a house in Novi Sad, because the other members of the family are also undergoing the “process of readmission” and will be arriving soon.
