In the organizer's words:

An old class photo takes the Ezidi director Ekrem Heydo back to his home in Serêkaniyê (Ras el-Ain) in the Kurdish part of northern Syria 25 years later. The photo depicts the region's multi-ethnic society of Arabs, Kurds, Chechens and Armenians, which has been divided into different ethnic and religious camps since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war. Ekrem Heydo does not find all of his classmates again - one was killed, others fled, leaving possessions and friends behind. The journey into the past becomes a search for the foundations of coexistence in a politically unstable region. Ekrem Heydo was born in Serêkaniyê, northern Syria, in 1973. He came to Germany in 1995 for political reasons. After training in cinematography and editing, he studied directing. He has lived and worked in Berlin since 2006.
