Frisch gepresst: Rasha Kayat und „Ich komme nicht zurück“

In the organizer's words:

Hanna, Zeyna and Cem grow up in a working-class neighborhood in the Ruhr area. They form a family of choice in which origin plays no role. But after September 11, 2001, there is a break. Years later, Hanna returns to her old home. Cem is still there, but Zeyna has been gone from her life for years. Hanna embarks on a search for their shared history - the story of a deep friendship in a world that is falling apart at the seams.

Rasha Kayat, born 1978 in Dortmund, grew up in Jedda and later studied in Bonn. She has received numerous awards for her work, including her debut novel "Weil wir längst woanders sind". She is the host of "Fempire - the podcast about women who write", which has over 10,000 subscribers.
