The Static of Dreams
As children, they spent their summer vacations playing on building sites in what was then Yugoslavia; today, the dreams their parents realized there are now in their hands. The houses bear witness to the planned but repeatedly postponed return from Germany - as a made family and with the whole family. Left in the shell, carefully furnished or now threatened by decay, they are mostly uninhabited. The film is dedicated to these rooms in quiet shots; the five protagonists relate to them.

Home. A term that can trigger many things. For some, without question. For more and more people, it is a mosaic.
In German historiography, the stories of the now grown-up children of the so-called “guest workers” are still largely omitted. The questions about the future of the homes they will inherit focus the processes of their emancipation and identity-finding as if under a burning glass. For Sami Dzemailovski, Nena Jurković, Predrag Lukić, Deana Mrkaja and Željko Ristić, living with more than one home brings with it inner conflicts, but also spaces for new impulses and ideas.
I see their experiences as a resource - for their biographies and for the social challenges of the present and future.
