In recent decades, the concepts of home, identity and exodus of migrants - common keys to the dreams of American and European prosperity - have been studied in the visual arts, especially in the cinematographic field (Harrod, Liz and Timoshkina, 2015; Celik, 2015; Sternberg and Berghahn, 2010). In this article we propose the crisis of the values of the European dream as a useful key for the study of the works of European filmmakers, or residents in Europe, who between 2005 and 2018 have made a reflection on the social values in the old continent. Among these values, this cinema has approached ideas such as integration, reception and interdependence as signs of a prosperity, on the other hand currently discussed in the common continental household.
