SYNOPSIS:
The announcement of the opening of a centre for asylum seekers causes a stir in a small Swiss village. From the community hall, Der Runde Tisch observes the discussions on the concerns and worries provoked by this upheaval. These newcomers never appear, but their stay is narrated by this small community whose fragile balance is gradually unsettled.
