Discussion with Judith Umathum (Verein Vielstimmig – Region Neusiedlersee Hilft)
Mória, summer 2020. It is hot between, even hotter in the tents. An inadequate sanitary infrastructure, the latent danger of the Coronavirus and the associated social restrictions, as well as internal camp tensions and xenophobic attacks dominate everyday life in the hopelessly overcrowded refugee camp. The tensions erupt into a catastrophic fire on the night of September 9 2020.
In the midst of all this, IN MEMORIAM uses secretly filmed smartphone footage to tell of a developing friendship between Lilly, a volunteer from Austria, and Ali, a young refugee from Afghanistan, who has not yet lost his hope for a better future.
