We, … Composition

The prestigious Heart of Sarajevo for Best Short Documentary at Sarajevo Film Festival was awarded to this touching, personal account of the director’s life as an immigrant in Germany.

Synopsis

Visar Jusufi describes his film in a very short sentence. “The director asks in a very personal way whether one should still dream.” His question is based on what we see on screen as being his daily struggles as an immigrant returning to one of the most bureaucratic rich European nations: Germany. We, … Composition is a visual diary of Kafka-like resonance. He assembles repetitive and absurd excerpts of his everyday life in which many immigrants will painfully find themselves: the never ending humiliating process of justifying one’s presence in a foreign country, the things lost in the bureaucratic translation, unexplainably cruel decisions by the authorities, compromises taken to survive.
