The col­or of air

Three siblings meet one summer's day to clear out and sell their childhood home. One sister stumbles upon a mysterious photograph of a young man that haunts her to this day. It seems to have been taken outside the house on the day of his fatal accident. As she has no recollection of ever having taken the picture, she tries desperately to trace it. Until she realises that the photographer must have been someone else.

Hay un dolor

Die Erinnerung an einen Arbeitstag, Kapitalismus, die Schlange, die sich in den eigenen Schwanz beißt. Es war ein Traum. Wir treffen uns unter Migrantenfreunden, ausgelassen und lachend. Sie erzählt uns eine weitere Erinnerung, es könnte auch ein Traum sein. Menschen aus verschiedenen Orten unterhalten sich am Bahnhof, verschiedene Geschichten fließen wie der Fluss.

Dam­aged Lemons

Social worker Mavi feels torn between her own life, which is characterised by mental overload, and her physically chronically ill sister Nalin, for whom she feels responsible. While a lot of space is made for her sister's physical illness, Mavi's mental state is overlooked. In a moment of overwhelm, she tries to break away from her sister and in the heat of the moment locks her in the kitchen. On the run from home, she meets Roya in a bar. Roya appears to be free of any responsibilities and is on the way to a centre outside of town, where people come together in search of the questions that move them in life. Mavi follows Roya, moving further and further away from the person she usually has to be. But the further she moves away from her life, the more she is drawn into dissociative states of memories and her own perception. Her perception that is increasingly affected by stress and a guilty conscience. Slowly she loses touch with time and space. Until Nalin and Mavi's partner Khalil find her and take her to a clinic. In an environment that forces her to introspect, she breaks down until her psychological distress is recognised and she begins to find ways of dealing with her dissociative states.
