Luisa Ricar - 24'21"
(Switzerland)



Synopsis



Burkina Faso refugee Rachid tries to hide in Brigitte’s flat in the outskirts of Zurich. Thought to have found her true calling, she decides to accommodate him. Even though the unequal power relation leads to tension between Rachid, Brigitte and her ex- husband, she suggests marrying him and giving him the chance to stay legally in Switzerland with her. Surprisingly, her offer gets rejected due to Rachids own plans and her new life-task collapse.

Luisa Ricar



Nicola was very lucky that her studies brought her to the Netherlands, Canada and Australia. After graduating in “International Media Management”, she worked in advertising and fiction film productions in Berlin, always fantasizing about making her own films. She realised that her journeys around the world have very much affected her visual language, her perception of stories and the individuals behind them. Shortly after, she commenced her master at DocNomads, a mobile film school taking place in Portugal, Belgium and Hungary. During her studies she made many creative documentary short films, that were well perceived on International Film Festivals and art exhibitions.
