00:00:04.334 --> 00:00:06.083
It's a beautiful day.

3
00:00:07.250 --> 00:00:08.584
The sun is bright.

5
00:00:09.542 --> 00:00:11.834
The sea is sharp blue.

6
00:02:38.626 --> 00:02:40.834
I let go of my sister's hand

7
00:02:41.417 --> 00:02:43.751
and jump into the pond.

8
00:02:49.584 --> 00:02:51.167
It's dark.

9
00:02:54.751 --> 00:02:56.584
The smell of mud.

10
00:03:00.918 --> 00:03:03.125
There is a strange sound.

11
00:03:14.501 --> 00:03:17.042
Croak Croak

12
00:03:17.542 --> 00:03:19.834
A frog jumps into the pond.

13
00:03:23.584 --> 00:03:26.584
Croak Croak

14
00:03:27.083 --> 00:03:28.959
A fish swims away.

15
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.250
Croak Croak

16
00:03:34.918 --> 00:03:38.000
The frog jumps onto a leaf.

17
00:03:41.167 --> 00:03:43.501
Croak Croak

18
00:03:44.334 --> 00:03:47.083
A bird flies past.

19
00:03:49.834 --> 00:03:51.876
Croak Croak

20
00:03:52.584 --> 00:03:55.959
The frog catches a fly.

21
00:03:58.792 --> 00:04:00.876
Croak Croak

22
00:04:01.334 --> 00:04:03.918
The frog falls asleep on a tree.

23
00:04:06.626 --> 00:04:09.167
Croak

24
00:04:18.542 --> 00:04:21.334
A hand pulls me out.

25
00:04:25.459 --> 00:04:27.876
I take a deep breath.

26
00:04:30.167 --> 00:04:31.667
I cough.

27
00:04:39.542 --> 00:04:41.375
Where am I?

28
00:04:50.417 --> 00:04:53.959
Did I ever tell you
about the pond?

29
00:06:28.334 --> 00:06:31.125
I see you for the first time.

30
00:06:33.792 --> 00:06:36.459
Istanbul is filled
with demonstrations.

31
00:06:36.999 --> 00:06:39.501
I don't understand
what they're shouting.

32
00:06:43.209 --> 00:06:45.125
Your shirt is grey.

33
00:06:46.375 --> 00:06:48.501
A red star in your ear.

34
00:06:56.542 --> 00:06:59.042
Maybe we would never
have met in Syria.

35
00:07:29.834 --> 00:07:32.501
Your invitation to Berlin.

36
00:07:34.584 --> 00:07:38.083
I wonder why I don't
take you to the airport.

37
00:07:42.709 --> 00:07:44.501
I look you in the eyes.

38
00:07:45.250 --> 00:07:48.709
I feel your kiss
before you say goodbye.

39
00:07:54.792 --> 00:07:59.834
It doesn't occur to me
that I may not see you again.

40
00:08:08.375 --> 00:08:10.042
You take the plane.

41
00:08:11.167 --> 00:08:12.542
You come back.

42
00:08:16.834 --> 00:08:18.334
You don't come back.

43
00:09:13.834 --> 00:09:16.334
It's getting colder.

44
00:09:19.959 --> 00:09:22.083
I can smell the snow.

45
00:09:56.459 --> 00:10:00.250
Everyday I look
at the photos you send.

46
00:10:02.709 --> 00:10:05.959
I see us walking
down the street in Berlin.

47
00:10:07.542 --> 00:10:11.375
We drink coffee at this bar
around the corner.

48
00:10:12.999 --> 00:10:15.751
In the evening
we go to the cinema.

49
00:10:22.999 --> 00:10:24.459
I wonder.

50
00:10:25.667 --> 00:10:29.209
Why you never
take photos of people?

51
00:10:31.876 --> 00:10:35.584
Or you just don't
send them to me?

52
00:13:49.042 --> 00:13:50.751
Any news?

53
00:14:02.375 --> 00:14:05.501
How long do you have to stay
at the refugee camp?

54
00:14:18.292 --> 00:14:20.709
What are you doing right now?

55
00:14:26.292 --> 00:14:28.375
Are you sleeping?

56
00:14:40.375 --> 00:14:42.334
Are you thinking of me?

57
00:14:58.042 --> 00:15:00.250
I learn German

58
00:15:00.959 --> 00:15:04.334
and watch old Syrian
soap operas on youtube.

59
00:15:21.417 --> 00:15:23.000
13 years earlier.

60
00:15:23.417 --> 00:15:25.209
The family sits on the sofa.

61
00:15:29.125 --> 00:15:34.292
We watch the green missiles
over Iraq on television.

62
00:16:06.834 --> 00:16:08.417
10 years later.

63
00:16:08.792 --> 00:16:12.709
I watch the war in Syria
on youtube.

64
00:16:14.250 --> 00:16:17.125
The missiles appear yellow.

65
00:16:19.626 --> 00:16:22.751
Maybe the cameras
are better today.

66
00:16:59.292 --> 00:17:01.626
The camera records everything.

67
00:17:04.250 --> 00:17:07.334
Snipers against demonstrators.

68
00:17:07.542 --> 00:17:08.834
Run.

69
00:17:10.125 --> 00:17:12.542
Grenades against bakeries.

70
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:14.459
Run.

71
00:17:15.834 --> 00:17:17.918
Bombs against vehicles.

72
00:17:18.501 --> 00:17:19.501
Run.

73
00:17:20.542 --> 00:17:23.459
Missiles against homes.

74
00:17:23.542 --> 00:17:25.292
Run.

75
00:17:26.042 --> 00:17:29.083
Chemical weapons
against everything.

76
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:33.250
Leave.

77
00:18:52.792 --> 00:18:54.792
I dig a hole.

78
00:18:58.292 --> 00:19:00.250
The hole is big.

79
00:19:01.751 --> 00:19:04.125
All my bracelets fit in there.

80
00:19:07.125 --> 00:19:09.751
In a hundred years
someone will find them

81
00:19:10.292 --> 00:19:12.792
and think they
belonged to a queen.

82
00:19:35.501 --> 00:19:37.792
The hole is getting deeper.

83
00:19:49.876 --> 00:19:51.751
I fall.

84
00:20:04.876 --> 00:20:07.501
I take my cat out of Syria.

85
00:20:08.083 --> 00:20:10.209
We cross the border.

86
00:20:10.751 --> 00:20:13.083
I meet you in Istanbul.

87
00:20:16.834 --> 00:20:18.709
You fly to Berlin.

88
00:20:31.792 --> 00:20:34.542
The cat looks for you
everywhere.

89
00:21:03.792 --> 00:21:05.834
Two years, they say.

90
00:21:05.999 --> 00:21:07.626
At least.

91
00:21:09.209 --> 00:21:11.792
Two years of waiting
for my visa.

92
00:21:16.876 --> 00:21:19.209
Two years of wasting time.

93
00:22:06.584 --> 00:22:08.918
The connection is very bad.

94
00:22:10.167 --> 00:22:13.042
I can barely hear your voice.

95
00:22:15.459 --> 00:22:17.834
I'll come back, you say.

96
00:22:19.375 --> 00:22:21.709
I want to say yes.

97
00:22:23.667 --> 00:22:25.751
But back to where?

98
00:22:27.459 --> 00:22:29.083
Istanbul?

99
00:22:29.918 --> 00:22:31.626
Standstill?

100
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:34.751
Syria?

101
00:22:35.918 --> 00:22:37.834
War?

102
00:22:41.709 --> 00:22:43.459
I won't let you.

103
00:22:46.834 --> 00:22:48.417
Do you understand?

104
00:22:51.417 --> 00:22:54.167
I shout.
I threaten.

105
00:22:55.417 --> 00:22:57.584
I don’t want you to come back.

106
00:23:03.417 --> 00:23:05.417
I'll come to you.

107
00:24:26.334 --> 00:24:28.334
Have you calmed down?

108
00:24:34.709 --> 00:24:36.250
You know me.

109
00:24:36.542 --> 00:24:38.542
I can’t wait.

110
00:24:38.751 --> 00:24:41.417
If I wait, I get sleepy.

111
00:24:42.375 --> 00:24:44.918
I can’t allow myself to sleep.

112
00:24:45.042 --> 00:24:48.083
I must stay awake.

113
00:25:17.417 --> 00:25:19.667
My legs become stronger.

114
00:25:20.999 --> 00:25:24.083
I go to the gym
and run on the treadmill.

115
00:25:33.125 --> 00:25:35.167
Don’t think.

116
00:25:35.334 --> 00:25:37.375
Keep your legs moving

117
00:25:37.667 --> 00:25:40.125
until you don’t feel
them anymore.

118
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:02.000
I empty the flat.

119
00:27:03.584 --> 00:27:05.250
I sell my stuff.

120
00:27:05.667 --> 00:27:07.918
I sell your stuff.

121
00:27:08.667 --> 00:27:10.918
I keep the camera.

122
00:27:16.918 --> 00:27:20.083
Do I really need a rope?

123
00:27:38.167 --> 00:27:40.083
I meet the smuggler.

124
00:27:40.501 --> 00:27:43.375
He is a film producer.

125
00:27:44.083 --> 00:27:46.209
On the wall hangs
a poster of a film

126
00:27:46.417 --> 00:27:50.000
that won an award at the
Cannes Film Festival.

127
00:28:00.584 --> 00:28:05.501
On my way out,
I meet a girl and her brother.

128
00:28:07.417 --> 00:28:10.083
She asks me if I’m afraid.

129
00:28:10.459 --> 00:28:13.501
I lie and say no.

130
00:28:15.125 --> 00:28:17.167
Should I say yes?

131
00:28:38.292 --> 00:28:40.417
I let the cat fall asleep.

132
00:28:41.709 --> 00:28:43.751
I put it in a box.

133
00:28:45.459 --> 00:28:48.167
The cat takes
the plane to Berlin.

134
00:28:50.042 --> 00:28:52.292
No visa required.

135
00:29:04.501 --> 00:29:06.417
I'm ready now.

136
00:31:04.250 --> 00:31:07.042
What time is it?

137
00:31:11.626 --> 00:31:13.709
The bus drives fast.

138
00:31:14.375 --> 00:31:16.876
Some people have to stand.

139
00:31:17.501 --> 00:31:19.042
I don’t know where I am.

140
00:31:26.209 --> 00:31:28.042
I'm not allowed
to open the curtains.

141
00:31:28.751 --> 00:31:31.334
I'm not allowed
to open the windows.

142
00:31:33.375 --> 00:31:35.042
I can't breathe.

143
00:32:10.751 --> 00:32:13.626
Can you track me by GPS?

144
00:32:15.918 --> 00:32:17.834
Do you know where I am?

145
00:33:12.209 --> 00:33:14.417
The sun rises.

146
00:33:16.459 --> 00:33:19.501
I walk down the hill
towards the shore.

147
00:33:27.459 --> 00:33:30.959
The woman in front of me
walks very fast.

148
00:33:31.876 --> 00:33:34.667
Her sneakers look new.

149
00:33:35.501 --> 00:33:38.959
I count the butterflies
on her blouse.

150
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:54.834
She reminds me of a neighbour.

151
00:33:55.375 --> 00:33:56.999
People hate her.

152
00:33:57.250 --> 00:33:59.834
Because she does what she wants.

153
00:34:01.042 --> 00:34:03.042
She lives alone.

154
00:34:25.751 --> 00:34:30.334
The little girl
holding her hand is excited.

155
00:35:06.959 --> 00:35:10.292
The girl looks at me and smiles.

156
00:35:11.334 --> 00:35:16.000
She wears a red-grey woolen cap.

157
00:35:28.042 --> 00:35:29.918
She points to the sea:

158
00:35:31.042 --> 00:35:34.000
Look how close we are.

159
00:35:35.083 --> 00:35:37.459
I can see the hills
on the other side.

160
00:36:06.125 --> 00:36:07.918
It's a beautiful day.

161
00:36:09.167 --> 00:36:10.501
The sun is bright.

162
00:36:12.834 --> 00:36:15.292
The sea is sharp blue.

163
00:36:24.626 --> 00:36:26.709
I fasten the camera to my wrist.

164
00:36:27.751 --> 00:36:30.125
I film this trip for you.

165
00:38:30.876 --> 00:38:32.542
It's a two-storey boat.

166
00:38:33.751 --> 00:38:35.459
Too many people.

167
00:38:36.584 --> 00:38:38.083
Orange vests,

168
00:38:39.125 --> 00:38:40.584
blue vests,

169
00:38:41.584 --> 00:38:43.125
no vests.

170
00:38:45.250 --> 00:38:46.834
My vest is orange.

171
00:38:50.459 --> 00:38:52.083
I take the upper deck.

172
00:38:52.667 --> 00:38:54.709
My eyes focus on the hills.

173
00:38:59.042 --> 00:39:00.792
People take selfies.

174
00:39:02.334 --> 00:39:03.834
I take one as well.

175
00:39:26.667 --> 00:39:28.709
I see a smaller boat.

176
00:39:29.417 --> 00:39:31.292
It is following us.

177
00:39:32.626 --> 00:39:34.501
Police?

178
00:39:37.792 --> 00:39:39.876
It comes closer.

179
00:39:40.459 --> 00:39:42.626
It takes the smuggler aboard.

180
00:39:44.042 --> 00:39:46.751
He waves us goodbye
with a smile.

181
00:40:15.667 --> 00:40:18.083
People start screaming.

182
00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:22.292
Water is coming
in the lower deck.

183
00:40:23.751 --> 00:40:26.959
A guy jumps into the water.

184
00:40:27.876 --> 00:40:30.417
The lifebelt is tied
to the railing.

185
00:40:30.834 --> 00:40:33.167
We can't get it off.

186
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:41.417
I see his head
between the waves.

187
00:40:44.209 --> 00:40:46.584
The head is getting smaller.

188
00:41:27.626 --> 00:41:30.334
I hate the sea.

189
00:41:33.042 --> 00:41:35.626
Mountains,
that's where I belong.

190
00:41:40.292 --> 00:41:42.626
I smell the fresh bread

191
00:41:43.792 --> 00:41:46.751
baked on bonfires during summer.

192
00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:53.042
I have a clear view.

193
00:41:56.083 --> 00:41:58.292
I can see for miles.

194
00:42:06.542 --> 00:42:07.876
We -

195
00:42:08.999 --> 00:42:10.459
We are in Berlin.

196
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:14.584
We sit on the grass.

197
00:42:16.167 --> 00:42:18.292
It's spring.

198
00:42:20.250 --> 00:42:22.792
What do we name our daughter?

199
00:42:23.834 --> 00:42:25.584
Think with me.

200
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:32.501
You -

201
00:42:33.042 --> 00:42:35.125
You are in Berlin.

202
00:42:35.542 --> 00:42:39.501
You walk through the park,
holding your daughter's hand.

203
00:42:40.417 --> 00:42:42.250
She's named after me.

204
00:42:43.751 --> 00:42:46.292
Her mother waves at you
with a smile.

205
00:42:50.334 --> 00:42:51.709
I -

206
00:42:52.792 --> 00:42:54.626
I am in Berlin.

207
00:42:55.167 --> 00:42:57.000
I am alone.

208
00:42:57.709 --> 00:42:59.417
I survive.

209
00:43:00.667 --> 00:43:02.709
You're on a guilt trip.

210
00:43:05.959 --> 00:43:08.292
I do what I want.

211
00:43:32.042 --> 00:43:35.584
In Damascus, I study journalism.

212
00:43:37.250 --> 00:43:40.918
I want to become
a war correspondent.

213
00:43:42.584 --> 00:43:44.542
What a stupid idea.

214
00:43:51.250 --> 00:43:53.876
Somehow now, I've become one.

215
00:45:19.792 --> 00:45:22.209
The boat is collapsing.

216
00:45:23.584 --> 00:45:26.000
I lose the ground under my feet.

217
00:45:43.417 --> 00:45:47.709
I let go of the railing
and jump into the sea.

218
00:46:02.792 --> 00:46:04.375
It's dark.

219
00:46:07.999 --> 00:46:09.834
The smell of salty water.

220
00:46:13.542 --> 00:46:15.209
There is a strange sound.

221
00:46:20.292 --> 00:46:21.083
Croak

222
00:46:21.250 --> 00:46:22.334
Croak

223
00:46:23.501 --> 00:46:25.000
Help.

224
00:46:26.209 --> 00:46:27.250
Croak

225
00:46:27.876 --> 00:46:28.918
Croak

226
00:46:29.751 --> 00:46:31.375
Mayday.

227
00:46:32.334 --> 00:46:33.375
Croak

228
00:46:33.959 --> 00:46:35.125
Croak

229
00:46:35.459 --> 00:46:36.667
SOS.

230
00:46:38.501 --> 00:46:39.999
Croak

231
00:46:46.709 --> 00:46:49.626
Why do we all scream in English?

232
00:47:04.167 --> 00:47:06.459
I take a deep breath.

233
00:47:08.751 --> 00:47:10.125
I cough.

234
00:47:13.250 --> 00:47:14.918
I pray.

235
00:47:17.250 --> 00:47:19.250
I don't believe in praying.

236
00:47:24.542 --> 00:47:26.959
Where am I?

237
00:48:29.501 --> 00:48:32.375
Is my mobile ringing?

238
00:48:38.876 --> 00:48:41.501
Is that you calling?

239
00:48:46.918 --> 00:48:49.542
Do you know that I am drowning?

240
00:49:35.542 --> 00:49:38.042
What about your GPS?

241
00:49:40.959 --> 00:49:42.999
Why don't you call for help?

242
00:49:54.918 --> 00:49:57.292
Forget it.

243
00:49:58.083 --> 00:50:00.584
Don't lay your guilt on me.

244
00:50:01.209 --> 00:50:04.209
I wouldn't feel any safer
if you were here.

245
00:50:57.792 --> 00:50:59.709
What time is it now?

246
00:51:07.042 --> 00:51:11.000
The flight from Istanbul
to Berlin takes three hours.

247
00:51:13.834 --> 00:51:16.626
The ferry from Turkey to Lesbos

248
00:51:16.834 --> 00:51:19.417
takes one hour
and thirty minutes.

249
00:51:23.334 --> 00:51:25.501
How long have we been here?

250
00:51:57.792 --> 00:51:59.626
I hear a helicopter.

251
00:52:01.667 --> 00:52:03.626
What is it doing here?

252
00:52:06.999 --> 00:52:09.375
It whirls up the waves.

253
00:52:53.584 --> 00:52:56.417
I see a red light
inside the helicopter.

254
00:52:58.292 --> 00:53:00.417
Are they filming us?

255
00:53:04.459 --> 00:53:07.709
Where will the images end up?

256
00:53:09.751 --> 00:53:11.417
On youtube?

257
00:53:11.542 --> 00:53:13.459
Or television?

258
00:53:14.167 --> 00:53:16.918
Regular news or breaking news?

259
00:53:17.501 --> 00:53:19.542
What do you call us?

260
00:53:19.584 --> 00:53:20.999
Refugees?

261
00:53:21.417 --> 00:53:22.459
Criminals?

262
00:53:22.709 --> 00:53:23.709
Victims?

263
00:53:25.000 --> 00:53:26.459
Or just numbers?

264
00:53:29.999 --> 00:53:31.834
Fuck you all!

265
00:53:32.626 --> 00:53:34.000
Stop filming!

266
00:59:02.876 --> 00:59:05.167
It's getting darker.

267
00:59:08.459 --> 00:59:10.834
I stand next to my father

268
00:59:12.167 --> 00:59:14.542
watching him sleep.

269
00:59:22.209 --> 00:59:25.501
He covers his eyes with his arm.

270
00:59:29.000 --> 00:59:30.584
Green fish,

271
00:59:31.709 --> 00:59:33.167
red fish,

272
00:59:34.918 --> 00:59:36.459
yellow fish.

273
00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:40.667
Made of plastic.

274
00:59:43.459 --> 00:59:49.375
I try not to wake him up
while sorting them by colour.

275
01:00:27.167 --> 01:00:31.083
The man next to me
loses his glasses.

276
01:00:38.000 --> 01:00:41.042
I see everything.

277
01:00:59.042 --> 01:01:01.959
The woman in front of me
is screaming.

278
01:01:02.751 --> 01:01:07.584
She wants to know if the girl
in her arms is alive.

279
01:01:11.209 --> 01:01:15.709
The girl is still wearing
her red-grey woolen cap.

280
01:01:22.626 --> 01:01:24.000
I turn my face

281
01:01:26.292 --> 01:01:28.709
and say nothing.

282
01:01:38.667 --> 01:01:41.417
I close my eyes.

283
01:01:44.292 --> 01:01:46.334
I am invisible.

284
01:02:09.042 --> 01:02:11.834
I smell your hair.

285
01:02:13.792 --> 01:02:16.584
I feel your breath on my neck.

286
01:02:19.834 --> 01:02:23.167
Time belongs to us.

287
01:02:31.501 --> 01:02:33.876
We step on each other's feet.

288
01:02:36.375 --> 01:02:38.584
We laugh.

289
01:02:40.501 --> 01:02:43.083
We are in Berlin.

290
01:02:43.959 --> 01:02:46.459
We dance.

291
01:03:46.292 --> 01:03:49.292
Don't worry and try to sleep.

292
01:03:55.542 --> 01:03:58.501
I will try as well.

293
01:04:38.667 --> 01:04:41.000
Yesterday, I dreamed.

294
01:04:43.667 --> 01:04:46.167
I am in the sea.

295
01:04:46.709 --> 01:04:48.334
I lie on my back

296
01:04:48.792 --> 01:04:50.792
under the surface of the water.

297
01:04:53.125 --> 01:04:54.751
The sun is warm.

298
01:04:57.042 --> 01:05:00.542
I feel the warmth
with every pore of my body.

299
01:05:03.209 --> 01:05:05.459
The sea is purple.

300
01:05:07.125 --> 01:05:09.959
I’m not afraid anymore.
