An Algerian man with an artificial leg is caught by border guards trying to enter Switzerland with a group of refugees. Subsequently, he is informally sent back to Germany. When he is deported in the early hours of the morning, his artificial leg is left behind. On finding the prosthesis, the Swiss immigration officials respond rather nervously as no one wants to be
responsible for it.

Un algerino con una gamba artificiale viene bloccato alla frontiera svizzera mentre sta cercando di superare il confine con un gruppo di rifugiati. Alle prime ore dell’alba dell'indomani la polizia lo rispedisce immediatamente in Germania ma nella fretta lui dimentica la protesi. Alla dogana svizzera trovano la gamba ma l'atteggiamento della polizia di frontiera è che loro non possono farci nulla e che soprattutto, non sono responsabili di niente.
