Between Heav­en And Earth

Eigentlich sind Salina und Albert ganz normale Berliner Jugendliche. Eigentlich. Actually Salina and Albert are pretty normal teenagers living in Berlin. But what makes a difference between them and others is not only the fact, that their childhood friends and relatives are not alive anymore and that they had to flee their home country, uncertain, when they will see it again - and if at all. What makes a difference are the dreams. How can you dream of the future, if you don´t even know what tomorrow will bring. It is seven years ago, that the family S. escaped from the war in their country Chechnia to come to Germany. Seven years of uncertainty, seven years of hope to be accepted as political refugees and to get a permission to stay, that would make it possible to start working again and to finally built up a normal life. During the two years this film accompanies the life of the family, it shows what it means, to fill your days with nothing but waiting and how difficult it is to not loose hope between metropolitain life and muslim religion, between great dreams and tough reality of everyday life.
