Why I Am Here

by Mieko Azuma, Susanne Mi-Son Quester

    Synopsis

    Five people between the ages of 10 and 84 talk about why they had to leave their home and what it was like to arrive in Germany. What is different? What do they miss? Between scenes of daily life at the new school and on the football ground the lives that Ahmad, Frau Schiller, Leila, Lena and Cacau left behind and the stories of the flights they lived through come alive in animated sequences. (DOK.Leipzig, Marie-Thérèse Antony)
