In the organizer's words:

Ghabe
SE 2019, Markus Castro, 100 min.
With: Adel Darwish, Nathalie Williamsdotter

Ghabe ("forest" in Arabic) is an award-winning Swedish independent film.

In 2015, more than 160,000 asylum seekers arrived in Sweden. In the summer, the pressure was so great that the Migration Board's precautions were not enough. Private individuals made their huts and houses available to help accommodate all the refugees. Monir came to Sweden from Syria with his older cousin Farid. They are being housed by the immigration authorities in a hut deep in the forest while they wait for their residence permits. Monir begins to explore the large, mysterious woods surrounding the hut. Their powerful presence lures him deeper in and confronts him with his traumatic memories of the war. Here he meets Moa, a young Swedish woman escaping the demands of modern society for the summer. Their curiosity brings them together, protected by the infinite patience of nature. But hidden fears and prejudices slowly bring the summer to a devastating end. - Supporting film: I'm Going Mad (2024, Matez Garci).
