(Elbows in Shatters)

Content: In 2022, the filmmaker follows the migrational route of his relatives from Germany to Tajikistan. In the capital Dushanbe, he meets a group of people around the Bactria Cultural Youth Center, with whom he revisits the memories of his relatives, who fled from the Civil War in the 1990s. A small community of friends takes shape through the shared love of music and the common wish to create something together. By turning the city into temporary spaces of collective action, they question national identities, gender roles, and embark on a search for their personal freedoms.
