★ 7.0TMDB 0h 21min Director: Basma Alsharif

Drifting through the streets of former East Berlin neighborhoods, the film traces the unsteady affective terrain of isolation and displacement, assimilation and oppression. The bureaucratic condescension and violence of a residency interview sits alongside domestic scenes featuring a father and his young son. The film uncovers the loss and thrumming tensions of exilic life under Western Europe’s smooth gray surfaces.
