What is the best way to make refugees feel at home? Meet Ghofran from Syria and Djaner from Macedonia. Two children hoping for a better future in Hamburg.
This documentary tells the story of two young refugees: Djaner, 7, a Roma boy from Macedonia and Ghofran, 11, from Syria. They have come to Germany during a time when right-wing extremism is on the rise in Europe and the right-wing populist AfD party has won seats in the German Bundestag for the first time. They fled from their native countries and ended up in a middle-class district in Hamburg, Germany. How are the two managing in their new lives? Djaner, his brother Mahmud and their mother fled poverty and discrimination. His first day at a German elementary school was like a dream come true for him, free of the fear he’d experienced every day in his homeland. Like hundreds of thousands of other refugee children, Djaner wants to fit in. At first, Ghofran hoped that she could leave Germany again soon. She listens to Arabic hip-hop and has her mind on Syria, whilst her father Adel struggles to make a new home. At the school where she learns German, Ghofran met girls who are free to do as they please. How much of that is she willing to accept and what is she willing to give up in exchange? Ghofran feels isolated at school because she understands so little. Filmmaker Pia Lenz spent a year with Djaner and Ghofran as they tried to settle into their new lives. The children's perspective gives us a fresh and unadorned take on the integration of hundreds of thousands of refugees.
