Children of the Labyrinth (Single screen)
In Children of the Labyrinth, refugee parents recite personal letters written to their children in which they recount why they fled, the traumatic experience of running away and living in a refugee tent camp and what dreams they wish for their children. The stories
provide an intimate and disconcerting picture of the hardships of the more than 100 million people currently displaced. Among them are 40 million children. These letters are in tribute to them all.
Latifa and Mozhda
Latifa from Afghanistan tells her eight-year-old daughter why they had to leave a happy life behind after the Taliban’s arrival. While waiting for a successful asylum procedure that does not materialise, childhood and future prospects slip away. Besides an abundance
of love, there is also shame and guilt because she cannot give her child the life she deserves.
Zara and Kimiya
In this film, mother Zara describes her fleeing Iran, the shock of eight months in the Moria refugee camp, and the nomadic life without healthcare in Athens. We witness a strong mother whose life is a search for safety and an intelligent daughter who gives her the strength to carry on.
