Kimya
Amira Duynhouwer
Kimya (Swahili for »silence«) is a story about the first moment of silence in the life of Josephine. Josie is growing up in a house where the doors are never locked. Everybody is always welcome in her mother’s home. She doesn’t feel like she’s part of the family because she doesn’t like noise or people that much.
When Josie finds herself at home on her own for the first time, she sets out on a journey of discovery – through the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom. She thinks it could be the best day of her life. But soon she realises that being at home alone might be just a bit too quiet.

Amira Duynhouwer schloss 2019 an der Nederlandse Fimacademie ihr Studium zur Drehbuchautorin ab, entdeckte aber während der Arbeit an Kimya, dass ihre Leidenschaft darin liegt, bei den Geschichten, die sie schreibt, Regie zu führen. Wenn es einen gemeinsamen Nenner in ihren Arbeiten gibt, dann wären es die kleinen Dinge, die uns menschlich machen: ruhige Momente der Freude und enormer Traurigkeit.
