DESCRIPTION

Inexperienced traumas can dominate our lives, even when they begin to work themselves out. Amir is in his forties, professionally successful as a scientist and is planning the wedding with his long-time partner. With the help of his longtime school friend – the director – he decides to come to terms with his dramatic past, to no longer run away from himself. Documentary film – this extraordinary artistic expression helps to preserve the anonymity of the hero who had to flee from war-torn Afghanistan as a child and came to Western Europe via the USSR.
