INTERFILM 40: Longing for Roots

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

A yearning desire for people and places that are no longer there. An involuntary sadness and the aching doubt of not knowing where you belong.

How does the search for belonging and home manifest? A woman cannot return to Iraq to find the olive tree of her childhood, while another wanders the streets of Saigon to encounter herself and between courage and despair, a mother tries to save her daughter from a racist terrorist attack. An Uyghur in Germany dreams of a home he never truly had. Four stories negotiate the burden of unwanted sadness and the pain of not belonging.
