Germinal Roaux : 2018
Fortuna, a 14-year-old Ethiopian girl, has had no news of her parents since the traumatic crossing of the Mediterranean and her arrival in Lampedusa, Italy. As she's welcomed into Switzerland with other refugees, she has to spend the winter with a Catholic community in a hospice located at the heart of a snow-covered massif, at an altitude of over 2000 metres. Whilst waiting for her residency status to be resolved by the Swiss authorities, Fortuna meets Kabir, a 26-year-old African refugee. Lonely and filled with longing to be comforted, she falls madly in love. Their relationship develops in secret, away from prying eyes, until the day Kabir disappears. Germinal Roaux's feature premiered in the Generation 14plus section at Berlin International Film Festival 2018.
