Every day in Chechnya, opponents of Ramzan Kadyrov are kidnapped, tortured and killed. People who have tried to speak out about human rights in the region have been forced to leave the country. Some of them have paid with their lives.
Close to paradise tells the story of one of these rebellious families.
The narrative is based on the letters of Zarema, the mother arrested by the dictatorship's security forces, and tells the story of all the members of her family, who have been forced into exile and scattered across Europe.
The case of Zarema Musaeva is one of the most striking cases of human rights violations in Europe.
