THIS RAIN WILL NEVER STOP

Alina Gorlova

In atmospheric black-and-white images, Alina Gorlova brings together fragments of the Kurdish-Syrian Suleyman family, scattered across several countries, and their lives. Andriy has lived with his parents in the Donbass region for nine years, where he has worked as a volunteer for the Red Cross since the war began. His brother marries a cousin in Berlin; his uncle treats injured fighters in Iraq. In the four-year period covered by the film, we observe how Andriy is torn apart: Does he want to live a life in safety in Germany? Can he really turn his back on his former homeland?

Eine große Gruppe uniformierter Soldaten steht in dicht gedrängten Reihen und blickt nach vorne. Das Bild ist schwarz-weiß, was die Uniformität und den ernsten Gesichtsausdruck der einzelnen Personen unterstreicht.
