Rakim Hazaz

Narges Shahid Kalhor is a director seeking to be rid of the "Shahid" (martyrs), who are too heavy a burden. From Bavarian bureaucracy and therapy to dancing with Iran’s past generations and their long shadows, she twirls through a heady autofiction.

A reclusive lighthouse keeper has been living in the midst of the Wadden Sea for decades. When he discovers a stranded young man one day, his solitary world is disrupted. As they slowly build trust with each other, he attempts to overcome his isolation.

A desperate musician. A legendary techno club. An intoxicating rave odyssey.
