69 Minutes of 86 Days. A Migrant Girl's Journey

On a path littered with lifejackets, in the middle of a crowd of people on the run, a 3-year-old girl slowly emerges. 

Full of a child’s energy and curiosity, carrying her little “Frost” backpack on her back, she takes in her surroundings between hundreds of adult trouser legs. 

She understands the gravity of the situation she and her family find themselves in, but filled with childlike wonder she continues her journey. 

For every step she takes, she emanates a longed-for feeling of hope. To Lean, it’s a step closer to her grandfather in Sweden.
