A tribute to our common humanity

I saw this beautiful film at Visions du Réel documentary festival in Nyon, Switzerland. It was sometimes funny, sometimes sad and it sometimes really gave me goosebumps.

The concept of the film is clever, and the director of the film, Iris Zaki, shows her true colors while interviewing her clients, thereby inviting them to show theirs. A great choice in my opinion, as the clients clearly feel free to reveal their true line of thoughts.

The film gives a great and valuable insight into the fact that, when politics and propaganda are set aside and humans truly interact and live with each other, it doesn't really matter where one comes from or what one believes.

Intimate, real, reassuring & inspiring.

Be sure to watch it when you get the chance! You won't regret it.
