At a makeshift mosque, the Muslim men of the hangar gather for prayer on paper, cardboard and blankets serving as prayer mats.
The hangar is a World War II relic left behind by the British, now home to about two hundred men. Most of the men in the hangar are from Somalia, all of them escaping to
Malta through Libya and by boat over the Mediterranean.
In the hangar, the men play on a ruled grid of their own, games being what they have instead of a job.
In between irregular food deliveries from the authorities, men are left on their own to gather what they can. With impossible odds of getting jobs, most go hungry in wait-
ing for asylum into Europe.
