Of course, you can't describe a film that isn't finished yet. However, the shooting can be sketched very well. We are guided by two women who have everything in their hands: Direction, production, camera. The sound is recorded by Garip Özdem. Now he died under tragic circumstances and so I write these lines. I cannot deal with death. I wanted to organize a concert series with Garip, we planned to clean out my parents' house and and and and... Sometimes I start crying. It just needs the wrong keyword. That's why our film will only get better! The legacy! Garip lived for FILM. Like a big child looking in wonder at the world. His world, his place of longing, that was Kurdistan. Money didn't interest him, what others think of him didn't anyway. But films were important to him! Although he had to get up early in the morning, haul furniture, dissolve apartments, he then came to the shoot. The atmosphere there is relaxed. I think Lea and Kathrin take care of that. Of course everyone always comes too late. Or the protagonists show up on Sunday morning after the after hour. Braindead. Not to be used cinematically. Like my friend Vassilis, who could only see black and white for a while. Vassilis can dance on one leg like Rumpelstiltskin on the counter and stretch out the other leg like a yogini. Unfortunately he doesn't remember it. In front of the camera he answers either "I don't remember" or "I forgot". But luckily not all protagonists appear that way. Nanghiti, Anisa and others can express these little poetic moments of life very well! Moments that happen in our bar + video store. Lea films it all. Material for hours. We have to imagine it as "Smoke" or "Blue In The Face". Regular customers philosophize about the sweet nothing. Or the high rents in Berlin. Or life after death. And Garip? He wasn't in such good hands in his home street, the Reichenberger, after he returned about six months ago. He had the idea of moving to Thessaloniki. There I also got to know him. Maybe he just didn't want to have a permanent residence at all, but wanted to hike! Now he is a living legend. A person who lived only to love! And he gets our film!
