Revealing documentary about a Dutch detention centre where illegal aliens are detained before being deported.

Illegal aliens in the Netherlands are detained, as a ‘last resort’, at Detentiecentrum Rotterdam before being deported. Within the walls of this centre, department head Hans and his fellow guards try to make the days for the detainees as bearable as possible. Discussions about the immigration policy are avoided. Revealing documentary that breaches many ingrained clichés in the representation of the Dutch expulsion policy.
