Devotion

As a believer you never can tell because this is the essence of believing which is not knowing.

My husband's grandaunt and me once had a good laugh at the expense of his brother because he wouldn't know the difference.

Tranquility

Listen

And then the Armenian told the story of when he was a migrant worker in Iran. It was during the Iran-Iraq War and he himself had only sons. He had to watch his Iranian neighbours' sons being drafted and oftentimes killed in this conflict, while his sons could stay at home. "But," he concluded, "my neighbours loved their sons just like I love mine."

Freedom

"I'll go wherever you go, wherever you take me I'll go."

Then There Is

this story about Wahida. Actually it is an excerpt from a diary, in which Mark, the director, writes down his impressions.

The first part deals with describing the atmosphere on their way to Mosul: There are no people, only fighters, there are no inhabited houses, only crumbling walls. And then there is Wahida.

"But Daesh tries to keep out of her vicinity.Wahida's revenge is well known by IS.'If you've got to die, don't do it at Wahida's hands.' Since her husband was murdered by IS, Wahida stops at nothing...

During the dinner she has invited us to Wahida's fingers are tearing pieces from a roasted chicken. She passes the pieces of meat to me. 'Eat.' She indicates that I should have more appetite."

Quest

Would it be the perfect ordinary - in German "ordentlich" which is also "tidy" - life you would be after or are you waiting for something to upset it?

Overcome

There is a certain kind of sadness and it hides in the apparently garish things.

It suddenly overwhelmed me when listening to a song and yet it gave me comfort.

It's not about escapism but rather a nevertheless.

Alors on danse.

Es gibt nichts Gutes, außer man tut es

There is nothing good unless one acts accordingly. - Erich Kästner
