(German: Die Stille dazwischen)
Short Film / 16 min / 2019 / Germany
Driven by childlike curiosity and the desire to get to know his new German home better, 9-year-old Hamid has made it his business to observe his surroundings with his binoculars and to document the actions of other people in his neighborhood. When one day a homeless woman comes into his field of vision, he realizes that the time has come for him to leave his observation post on his balcony at home.
