In-between worlds
Set against a white canvas, women of various ethnic backgrounds give intimate insights into their lives in present day Germany. Their biographies differ strongly: some of them came as refugees, others have parents who came to Germany to study or work.
In-between worlds focuses on the daily conflicts and balancing acts these women face within a multicultural society. In doing so, the film scrutinises the very idea of it.
