Rojda (Almila Bagriacik), a young woman young with Kurdish-Iraqi roots has lived in Germany since childhood. Now serving in the German army, she attempts to reunite her family despite the separation caused by borders and military conflicts. After successfully negotiating her mother’s release from a camp for displaced Kurds and bringing her to Germany, Rojda sets out to find her missing sister, who is somewhere in Iraq fighting in a Kurdish battalion of women soldiers. In her thinly veiled rescue mission, Rojda volunteers as an interpreter to support the women’s battalion, which leads her to dangerous and surprising encounters. Writer-director Daphne Charizani’s thoughtful drama premiered at the Perspektive Deutsches Kino special selection at the 2020 Berlin International Film Festival.
