Plot summary:

In April 1945 thousands of concentration camp survivors arrive to the harbour of smalltown Malmö, Sweden. In unique archive footage we see 10 year old Irene on the quay taking her first shaky steps in freedom. Magnus Gertten’s new documentary investigates the complicated aspects of liberation and the importance of a helping hand.
