Story:
“To Be” is about a whole chunk of human society being stranded, from unborn fetus to the decrepit, seeking a venue whence they can establish a living, braving perils on this mission the lesser of which they wouldn’t dare face in their home country. It is not about weathering a storm and coming to safety, it is about storming one unfriendly climate after the next.
