Synopsis: Hito Steyerl made a short documentary about the ‘Universal Embassy’. After the collapse of the Somali government twenty years ago, the embassy in Brussels was left empty. The embassy and the sovereignty of the grounds were claimed by a group of activists who planted their own flag. This former piece of ‘Somalia’ is the only place on earth that does not belong to a country. The documentary shows how a group of people without a residence permit must live. The Universal Embassy is devoted to the cause of other homeless people, the 'sans papiers'.
