The Tour Guide
The film is a portray of Nirit Ben Joseph (52) an Israeli that is living in Berlin
for 26 years. Moving to Berlin at the age of 25 for the love of a German
partner, Nirit has since become an in-separate part of the city and is described
by many as “a Berliner from Israel”. Working as an historical tour guide of the
city, Nirit's most common audience is Israeli's visiting Berlin to explore the
dark past of Jewish-German history. Nirit does not feel a need to belong to a
greater collective, but at the same time has a complicated perspective to her
religion, nationality and tradition. The film delves into questions of national,
religious and personal identity in todays multicultural world.
At the age of 5, I first had to deal with questions of national and religious
identity, having moved to England from Israel for 4 years. Ever since, this has
been an issue in my life. Today and for the past 5 years I am in a serious
relationship with a German partner, Kathrin. This has sparked more questions
in my life relating to national and religious identity. I see in Nirit a special
personality of someone who has provoked out-of-the-box thinking in me and
others on this subject.
