YAK SHER

Yak Sher means "A Poem" is a combination of nostalgic images of my past and present. Images that sometimes leave a strange feeling.
It is almost impossible to show a comprehensive picture of migration in a few sentences or in a short film like here, but the feeling of not belonging, alienation and homelessness can somehow be felt every day. Now, after years of exile, when I think of my escape, only blurry images remain in my mind. Like the blurry image of a 7-year-old boy waiting in an alley for days for his father to return from a trip.
