(Exile)
Director: Visar Morina
2020, colour, 121 minutes
Although apparently well-integrated into Germany, Xhafer, an engineer originally from Kosovo, increasingly feels as if he is being mobbed at work – or is he just hypersensitive? A fascinating psychological drama about identity, belonging, and alienation.
