Another Place is not just another refugee story about dangerous border crossings but an intimate look at what happens in a person's life after migration. It is told and narrated from the unique perspective of a former refugee from Iran. It's a then-and-now, and all the life that happens in between. It is the story of the loss of family, isolation, mental illness, racism, and what it means to find home. The film features stories of three people who've fled their homes due to war and persecution and have found refuge in the European Union – in Denmark, Germany, and Belgium. In the aftermath of the 2015 migration crisis, it delves into the process of acclimating to a new country and the difficulties one faces. How does one rebuild their life in a new version of home? Where do they work? Where do they go to school? There's also a fourth narrative, the connective tissue and the common thread of the filmmaker, Jhizet Panosian, who fled Iran during the Iran/Iraq war and resettled in the United States.
