content

Amir does not have a residence permit, his mother refuses to contact him, he struggles with suppressed aggression. A mysterious burden weighs heavily on the young Bosnian's shoulders. When he loses his cleaning job, he takes on a job in nursing: he is supposed to look after Ms. Osterloh, who has dementia. The everyday life of the two soon consists of small and large battles - a constant change between closeness and distance. Ms. Osterloh's illness gives Amir the opportunity to play with realities she created herself. But when Amir is caught up with his past one day, he reveals his innermost secret to Ms. Osterloh. An encounter between two people on the edge who hold on to each other for a moment and then lose each other again shortly afterwards.

Background of the story

The director and screenwriter Susan Gordanshekan grew up between German and Iranian cultures due to her migration background. Therefore, she already knows the discrepancy between her own feelings and external perception. She wanted to increase this feeling with the Bosnian Amir, who lives illegally in Germany. In an interview with the Süddeutsche Zeitung she stated that “Bosnia is on the one hand very European, but on the other hand it is totally excluded”. On the other hand, experiences are processed which Susan Gordanshekan had during a voluntary social year with a woman suffering from dementia and which had a strong impact on her.
