Anywhere Else



Ester Amrami : 2014
Anderswo

Years ago, attracted by its culture and lifestyle, Noa moved to Berlin. At present she is collecting material for her grant-sponsored master's thesis: a dictionary of untranslatable words. But she hasn't been feeling well of late and, on top of that, she is waylaid by the news that her boyfriend Jörg has entered a competition in Stuttgart. As a sudden inspiration, Noa decides to fly home. But the joy of reunion with her parents and siblings is quickly replaced by her aversion to the monotony of customs and rituals and to the incessant fear of danger. Tel Aviv and her extended family begin to get on her nerves. But where else to go? Ester Amrami's feature debut was winner of the Independent Camera Award when it premiered in the Forum of Independents at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2014.
