Autumn Songs

short - documentary - 2016 - 9 min - color - Germany

Under the roof of a former school in Berlin transformed in 2015 in an asylum center, 230 men, woman and children from various social backgrounds and nationalities share the same destiny: they have escaped war, dictatorship and oppression. At the very beginning of their life in exile, they wait together for their refugee status to be processed and delivered by the authorities. In this atmosphere of deep boredom and nostalgia, melodies of their home country echo in their mind.
