Premiering February 7th, 2018

"Alexander is not yet buried" - that's what the directory says. In a war-torn world, his corpse looms over Sascha and's relationship  Schufa He is the glue that holds them together and at the same time the source of conflict that reveals their innermost desires and fears. In a maelstrom of intimacy and violence, of closeness and distance, of childlike play and bitter seriousness, the image of a man-made catastrophe threatens to engulf them.

The world in which Sascha and  Living the Shura seems far removed from our reality. However, that is  Magyar in Kyiv about as far away from us as St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. And the  highest percentage of sexual  Abuse takes place in the closest social circles and in one's own family.

Whether the past  peaceful decades in Western Europe can be an escape from the endless return of war and interpersonal horrors seems more questionable than ever at the moment.  

The search for the breaking point  in the loop of  story  remains, driven  from one  Hope for a new human togetherness - without tricks.
