A Letter to Home
In wintertime Berlin, a cyclist finds a letter. A letter written from exile. Between documentary images and fictional scenes, the film unfolds as a reflection on home, distance, and absence.
SYNOPSIS
Berlin’s winter becomes a witness to a letter never delivered. It is a cold morning when a cyclist finds a letter left behind, written by an Iranian forced into exile and addressed to his family far away. As she reads, another face of the city reveals itself, confronting her with the pain that lies beneath the surface. Moving between documentary observation and fictional scenes, the film becomes an attempt to confront the meaning of home once it has been left behind.
