Description

Me, In Between tells the story of Madina, whose family has fled war in search of asylum in Europe, hoping to start a hopeful new life. An ordinary world of fitting in at school, learning the language, and forging friendships lies before Madina.

Yet, she finds herself caught between her new life and her traumatic memories of the past. With the endless wait to be granted asylum, and her anxious father growing ever more controlling, can Madina find the path that’s right for her?
