Visar Morina’s multi-award-winning psychodrama craftily disorients the viewer’s eye to create a sense of paranoia and unrest. Adding excellent touches of dark humour, Morina constructs an uncompromising investigation of the immigrant experience and xenophobia within the urban middle class.

Perhaps inspired by his early years in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Berlin School’s Ulrich Köhler drew acclaim for this ambitious, characteristically insightful exploration of the construction of masculinity inside & outside of the family unit. Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Director.
