Dorrotya Zurbó : 2018
Könnyű Leckék
Kafia is 17 years old. Two years ago, she fled alone to Europe, to Hungary, in an attempt to escape a forced child marriage in Somalia. She has been living in a state children's home in Budapest ever since. She learns the language, goes to high school, prepares for the Hungarian graduation exam, and starts a modelling career. On the surface, everything seems fine. However, behind a beautiful and confident appearance lies a heavy heart. Kafia's repetitive daily routine revolves around constant dilemmas and self-doubt about leaving behind her Muslim culture and everything else she grew up with. As she allows the camera to get closer to her, the film slowly becomes an intimate confession. What does it mean, on the brink of adulthood, to break with your past and fully give yourself up to a new self in order to live in Europe? Dorrotya Zurbó's second documentary feature premiered at the Semaine de la Critique at Locarno Film Festival 2018, and screened in competition at Sarajevo Film Festival 2018.
