The Shelter Synopsis
It is winter at an emergency shelter for the homeless in Lausanne. Every night at the door of this little-known basement facility the same entry ritual takes place, resulting in confrontations which can sometimes turn violent. Those on duty at the shelter have the difficult task of “triaging the poor”: the women and children first, then the men. Although the total capacity at the shelter is 100, only 50 “chosen ones” will be admitted inside and granted a warm meal and a bed. The others know it will be a long night.
The Shelter (2014) is a documentary film directed by Fernand Melgar, released on August 10, 2014 with a runtime of 1h 41m. Viewers rate it 6.2 out of 10 across 8 ratings.
