A film by Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham, Rachel Szor. In Arabic, Hebrew and English with German subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

Basel Adra, a young Palestinian acti­vist from Masafer Yatta on the West Bank, has been fight­ing the mass expul­si­on of his com­mu­ni­ty by Israel’s occu­pa­ti­on sin­ce child­hood. He docu­ments the slow-moti­on era­di­ca­ti­on of the vil­la­ges in his home regi­on whe­re sol­diers deploy­ed by the Israeli govern­ment are gra­du­al­ly demo­li­shing hou­ses and dri­ving out their resi­dents. At some point, he meets Yuval, an Israeli jour­na­list, who sup­ports him in his efforts. An unli­kely alli­ance deve­lo­ps. But the rela­ti­onship bet­ween the two is strai­ned by the enorm­ous ine­qua­li­ty bet­ween them: Basel lives under mili­ta­ry occu­pa­ti­on while Yuval lives free­ly and wit­hout rest­ric­tions.
This film by a Palestinian-Israeli coll­ec­ti­ve of four young acti­vists has been made as an act of crea­ti­ve resis­tance on the path to grea­ter justice.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

In the heart of the Nepalese Himalayas, the spi­ri­ted Pema embraces a poly­and­rous mar­ria­ge with Tashi and his two youn­ger brot­hers. They initi­al­ly lead a har­mo­nious life, but when Tashi fails to return from a tra­ding trip to Lhasa, the legi­ti­ma­cy of Pema’s unborn child is ques­tio­ned by her com­mu­ni­ty. Determined to pro­ve her love and puri­ty, she embarks on a quest to find Tashi. Accompanied by her brot­her-in-law, her now de fac­to spou­se Karma, she goes into the wil­der­ness. Karma is a monk. After initi­al­ly resis­ting giving up his monastic life, he gra­du­al­ly comes to app­re­cia­te the simp­le exis­tence of a secu­lar life. However, urgent duties call him back to the monas­tery and Pema is left alo­ne. As she navi­ga­tes the harsh Himalayan ter­rain, her quest tran­s­cends the search for her miss­ing hus­band. Pema beco­mes incre­asing­ly immer­sed in a spi­ri­tu­al search for mea­ning in which every step brings her clo­ser to self-dis­co­very and liberation.
