In Everything Falls Apart by NIE two boys searching for a better life, are smuggled through Europe. At the end of the journey, on London's underground all hope ends as they meet a man convinced that there is a higher justice. The trafficking victims and the suicide bomber share a short moment on the train before it explodes, for a few seconds they're all convinced that they're closer to paradise than ever.
Everything Falls Apart by NIE was supported by Arts Council Norway, Arts Council England and the Norwegian Ministry for Foreign Affairs/MFA (travel grant/performing arts).
