Plot synopsis
According to the British laws every person has the right to have a place to leave. That’s why if you occupy alien property that was empty for a long time you automatically become a squatter and you can be forced to leave the place only by court’s decision. In Britain there are tens of thousands of squats and squatters. Some of them roam from one squat to another for decades. All of them have different fates and motives. What makes them leave their homes?
